THREE BRAND NEW COLOURWAYS OF
MYSTICAL LANTERNS AVAILABLE NOW! FIND THE FREE YARN SUBSTITUTION DOCUMENT LOWER DOWN

The name of a repeated tessellating design, like the one I have used in this design, is called an 'Ogee' pattern in Arabesque design. It took me a few weeks
to get the design of these blocks right; initially I came up with lots of really complicated ways to create this motif, but in the end it was so simple.
It is funny how sometimes a design process can take so long and then the outcome can be so easy to make!
The pattern for the lantern shape motif is based on a granny hexagon pattern, but I have made a few changes to come up with the curved design that
tessellates. The pattern assumes you have purchased the kit. If you are using your own shades then ignore the references to yarns within the kit.
If you wish to use an alternative yarn for this project it is up to you to make sure you choose the correct yarn
weight and length and that your chosen yarn achieves the correct tension.
The kit contains the yarn listed below plus printed pattern & Janie Crow sew in label.
Pattern available in UK & US terminology and Dutch Language.
Digital version available on Ravelry here or Etsy here.

The Mystical Lanterns blanket is an incredibly popular pattern, so almost a decade after it was first released, we felt it was time to give it a bit of an update.
We have created some new colourways and layouts using the Stylecraft range of yarns. We have created one version using Naturals Bamboo + Cotton that
we have called Beatrix, another using Special DK named Avice, and a third using ReCreate DK and Highland Heathers DK that we have called Orcadia.
You can find a free downloadable yarn substitution document that lists all the yarns used in the new colourways by following this link.
The document also shows a diagram for the shawl version.
