Crochet pattern for a lanternfish Tapestry/Blanket. This pattern comes with both a graph and written directions.

All single stitch crochet using the tapestry crochet technique (carrying yarn)

You will need 4 skeins of blue (or background color) (A), 3 skeins of black (B), 2 skeins of light blue (C), 1 skein of orange (D) & 1 skein of yellow (E) to complete this pattern. This is assuming a medium weight yarn with a skein length of about 350 yards/skein.

I recommend carrying A B & C through the entire pattern to keep it even and only using D & E in the little lantern part. Alternatively you could carry A &B through the entire pattern and only use C D & E in their respective sections.

I recommend a medium weight (worsted weight) yarn with a J sized hook. The tapestry should come out a little over 4 feet wide (when crocheted with a J hook and medium weight yarn) A border can increase the size and give the project a more finished look.

It is all single stitch crochet. In order to make this blanket you will need to know how to carry yarn (there are great Youtube videos that can teach you how to do the Tapestry Crochet Technique. I highly recommend trying a small simple pattern to practice carrying yarn before attempting a larger project. Carrying yarn gets more difficult as you add more colors.

150 stiches wide by 92 rows tall
