Hi there!

The LongJingTea design weaves together shapes like petals and leaves, feathers and arches—open to your own interpretation. All these elements combine to form a richly textured, cozy blanket that’s sure to make an impression.

This is not a beginners’ pattern, but I’ve tried to add as much detail as possible and step-by-step pictures for every round.

Yarn & Hook size: For the step-by-step pictures I used Hobbii Friends Cotton 8/4 yarn with a 4mm hook, but you can use whatever yarn & hook size you like, as long as they match and you are happy with the resulting tension
