LongJingTea Blanket

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 **Gauge**: 18 dc and 10 rounds in 10 cm **Difficulty**: intermediate **Terminology**: US terms **Materials required:** • Hobbii Friends 8/4 cotton and/or Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/4 (4200 meters, divided in any number of assorted colors) or any equivalent cake yarn (see color guide below) • 4 mm crochet hook • Tapestry needle to sew ends • Scissors **Stitches used in this pattern:** • Slip stitch (sl st) • Chain (ch) • Single crochet (sc) • Half double crochet (hdc) • Double crochet (dc) • Front post single crochet (fpsc) • Front post double crochet (fpdc) • Back post double crochet (bpdc) • Puff stitch (see below) • Three double crochet together cluster (dc3tog cluster) **Other abbreviations:** • Ch-sp: chain space • Sk st: skip stitch
