Skill Level: Intermediate

Finished Size: 14 x 19 x 4.5 cm (closed)

To customize size: The pattern is a multiple of 4 stitches plus 1. Add or subtract fans in multiples of 4 stitches on the foundation chain, with each fan adding approximately 1.5 cm to the finished width. To adjust height, add or remove double rows from the front and back panels equally, with each double row adding approximately 1 cm. If you change the height of the panels, adjust the ribbon length accordingly — the two short sides of the ribbon should match the height of the front panel and the bottom section should match the width.
