Problem Crafting Lanterns [Resolved]

Hello!
I am a new player on PS4 and I am having an issue trying to craft lanterns. I’m told I can’t because I have a “missing ingredient”. The missing ingredient is torches but I actually have 64 in my active inventory. In the photo below I actually put one in my hand (doesn’t make a difference).
I realize in the photo I also don’t have enough spark but that’s not the issue - it doesn’t recognize the torch in my inventory with or without spark.
Has anyone else experienced this? Am I missing something?

You probably have a basic torch in your inventory.
There is another that is just a torch you make in the workbench at the very top

The picture isn’t displayed here. Could you post it again?

I edited the OP as it was missing an ! from the front of the image tag.

As mentioned by @blinvir - you need the normal torch to craft these, not the basic torch.

There are 2 types of torches and they’re easy to mistake.

I am with @blinvir here. I think you might be mixing up Basic Torch with Torch. Torch is the one you need Tallow to make; Stick,Tallow and Sackcloth if I remember correctly.

Thanks all for the quick replies and fixing my image! :+1:
