This pattern is also part of the Spring Style bundle, which you can find right here.

These crochet “paper” lanterns can be used to decorate outdoor spaces in celebration of warm weather! A simple but clever one-piece construction creates a lantern that can hold a tealight or a string of fairy lights. Use up your stash of kitchen cotton to make a whole set of them for your next garden party!

Level: Advanced beginner. This pattern is worked in the round using sc, dc, tr, chain spaces, front/back loop only, and crab stitch. It starts with a central tube and the remainder of the lantern is worked from the top down around the tube.
