WS rows: as sts face.

Fans pattern, crochet hook 5: the quantity of sts is multiple 8 + 1 + 1 chain st increase. Work due to the scheme, on which both RS and WS rows are stated. This pattern starts with 1 WS row. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-4^th rows x once, then, repeat 3^rd-4^th rows.

Structured pattern, crochet hook 12 (work in 6 threads of yarn): single crochets, start every row with 1 chain st increase instead of the 1^st single crochet and finish with 1 single crochet in chain st increase of the previous row.

Stitches control: fans pattern: 18 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Structured pattern: 8 sts x 9 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
