Mystic Lanterns Crochet-a Long
ogee
Jane Crowfoot has worked out a clever meld of the architectural shape and the humble

granny square . The ogee motifs are first crocheted end to end in strips. The
strips are then crocheted together with a contrast color.
Our afghan version currently underway is using all 12 colors of Liberty Wool Shadow by Classic
Elite Yarns.

Finer fingering weight yarns will be great for the scarf and shawl versions.
For those who have making colors decisions for multi-color projects, Jane has a

foolproof system to keep you from wasting valuable crochet time thinking about what
color to use next.

Work on your mystic lantern project during open stitching times
