LapsangTea Blanket

Hi there! In the LapsangTea Shawl, gothic motifs, leaves and organic shapes come together into an eye-catching pattern… of course I needed to design a blanket version too! Fresh and spicy, the LapsangTea Blanket will look amazing on a garden chair or a veranda :) 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 3mm hook, but you can use whatever yarn & hook size you like, as long as they match and you are happy with the resulting tension **Gauge**: 18 dc and 10 rounds in 10 cm **Difficulty**: intermediate **Terminology:** US terms **Materials required:** • Hobbii Friends 8/4 cotton (3200 meters, divided in any number of assorted colors) or any equivalent cake yarn (check the length) • 3 mm crochet hook • Tapestry needle to sew ends • Scissors **Stitches used in this pattern:** • Slip stitch (sl st) • Chain (ch) • Single crochet (sc) • Double crochet (dc) • Back post single crochet (bpsc) • Front post double crochet (fpdc) • Back post double crochet (bpdc) • Puff stitch (see below) • Popcorn stitch (see below) • Three double crochet together cluster (dc3tog cluster) **Other abbreviations:** • Ch-sp: chain space • Sk st: skip stitch
