Radial blend with two different shapes

Question

Anyone know how to do this? have tried everything I know of.

Thanks

I think the key points here are that you need to make the blend between 3 lines. So a blend from line A to B to A and I don't know if there's a better way, but to connect the ends, you may have to add a new anchor point (with pen tool for example) close to the starting point. — Joonas, Commented May 3, 2019 at 6:43

I'm assuming you know how to create a blend in Illustrator. If not, see here.

Create the blend vertically.
Draw a semi-cricle path
Select the blend and the semi-circle and choose Object > Blend > Replace Spine
At this point it'll look wrong. So choose Object > Blend > Blend Options
Change the orientation to "Align to Path" rather than to "Align to Page" (The right option should be depressed, see below)
adjust the "Specified Steps" as necessary.

The path used for the spine can be any path. The procedure is essentially the same for any blend which does not follow a straight path....
