Dear community,
lanterns / paper lanterns / lanterns are great for pleasant summer evenings outdoors. In this thread, you’ll find delightful ideas that you can also combine with upcycling. Have fun with them.

@Designers:
You may each present 2–3 suitable patterns here, each with at least 10 sales / a CR of at least 2%, which must not have been promoted in the forum in the past 3 weeks. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc.

On warm summer evenings, we love to sit outside on the patio or balcony until late at night. Colorful lanterns create a romantic atmosphere. These crocheted lanterns are easy to make and perfect for using up leftover yarn: the more colorful, the better!
For one lantern, you’ll need a total of about 60 g of colorful yarn (I used Budget Yarn Acrylic DK),
a 2.5 mm crochet hook, 2 metal rings with a diameter of 15 cm, a few colorful wooden beads with a diameter of about 2 cm, and an LED string of lights. (The lanterns should not be used with candles or light bulbs that get hot!)
You can download the crochet pattern right here!
