Description:

Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace. The pink pair are workers for the fans.

This is worked as a tiny mat. Click here for how to work a pentagonal mat. Click here for how to finish a mat.

I don't think this is particularly successful, as the fans are too far apart. It is also quite hard to make a neat finish with such a small fan. See pattern 63 for a better attempt.
