July & August are months with lots of summer festivals in Japan.
Today, for Tanabata, make a wish, write it on a piece of colourful paper, and hang it on a bamboo branch. Don’t forget the sparklers!

This pattern is extremely simple and a great stash buster!

Using minimum yarn (6 yd of yellow and 2 yd at most of black) and basic techniques, the Lantern works in no time.

Enjoy the light and the breeze!
