Crochet Ramadan Lantern - Free Wall Hanging Pattern

Hey Everybody! Today I have a Crochet Ramadan Lantern pattern for you. If you have read any of my previous posts or the about me page you may know that am Egyptian and Muslim. And as I write this it’s the first day in Ramadan! I honestly didn’t plan earlier to make this pattern. But as I was sitting yesterday the idea for this pattern popped in my mind. I went directly to my yarn stash, picked some yarn and immediately started so that I can make it and hang it before the first day of Ramadan! Which is today. And I did it. It took me a couple of hours. So basically this may be the fastest pattern I have worked from the idea to the result!

Now let’s take you directly to this crochet wall hanging pattern
