Mystical Lanterns Patterns

The name of a repeated tessellating design, like the one Jane has used in this design, is called an 'Ogee' pattern in Arabesque design. It took Jane a few weeks to get the design of these blocks right; initially she 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 Jane has made a few changes to come up with the curved design the tessellates.

The shawl uses 13 balls of Jamieson's Spindrift

The scarf uses 8 skeins of Coop Knits Socks Yeah!

The blanket uses 12 balls of Stylecraft Life DK

The patterns for the shawl and scarf assume 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 these projects 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.
