Chinese New Year is just around the corner and I can really feel the prosperous festive atmosphere sprouting around when Amy from Hooked submitted her guest post for this Chinese Lantern amigurumi pattern.  The free Chinese Lantern amigurumi pattern comes in 2 shapes, round and long. They are a quick project to crochet and you can easily whip up a few of them in a day. The Chinese Lantern amigurumi are a perfect ornament to boost up the good fortune in your house.

I have been always love to have Amy’s pattern in Craft Passion and gratefully that Amy finally has the time to come out a Chinese Lantern amigurumi to commence with the collaboration. Amy is a passionate crocheter has discovered the beauty of amigurumi in the Year 2012 and fell deeply in love with crocheting. Since then, she has been designing her own amigurumi dolls. It is no fun to crochet alone, “it would be great to have more people speaking the same language!”, she thought and that leads her into Hooked, a humbly small craft school, conducting classes. Gladly, with the demand booming, Amy has been traveling around Malaysia and Asia to share her knowledge through classes. What’s even better, Hooked has decided to share more joy by sharing some of her designs with Craftpassion readers!
