MYSTICAL LANTERNS
|
|
Pattern available in UK & US terminology and Dutch Language.
Digital version available on Ravelry here or Etsy here.
You can find kits and printed patterns here.
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 - 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 the 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.
