Note – there are several ways of working this stitch combo – this is just one of them. But they’re all based on the same idea to create the “roller coaster” effect.

Instructions for working the Feather and Fan stitch:
Cast-on a multiple of 18 stitches.
Setup Row: Purl all stitches
Row 1 (RS): *k2tog 3 times, (K1, yo) 6 times, k2tog 3 times*, repeat between *s to end of row
Rows 2 and 3: Knit across all stitches
Row 4: Purl across all stitches
Repeat these 4 rows to desired length, bind-off on Row 2.

Instructions for working this stitch in-the-round:
Cast-on a multiple of 18 stitches.
Round 1: *k2tog 3 times, (K1, yo) 6 times, k2tog 3 times*, repeat between *s to end of row
Round 2: Purl across all stitches
Round 3: Knit across all stitches
Round 4: Knit across all stitches
Repeat these 4 rows to desired length, bind-off purlwise on Row 2.

If you want to work stripes as I did, change color after Row 2 (working Row 3 in new color).
