Crochet Home Decor: Make Hanging Lanterns

Beautify your balcony and illuminate your living room with colorful, crocheted hanging lanterns. Crochet designer and author Twinkie Chan shows you how to create two different stylesof this vintage-inspired home decor. The first one has a simple cylindrical shape, and you’ll learn a latticed shell stitch that’s worked in double crochets and chains. The second one has a chandelier shape and is for adventurous crocheters interested in exploring a variety of stitch patterns like granny stitches, the upside down granny stitch, popcorns, and Twinkie's version of the flower of life which contains double treble, triple treble and even quadruple treble stitches. This class is a fun opportunity to experiment with structure and how a soft crochet fabric can drape and stretch over a rigid frame. Whether you hang your lanterns in your home or outside in your garden, they will brighten your space every day.
