Oh yes! One of my favorite makes from this year is finally ready for release, and I am so happy to bring it into the world. Meet Diwali, a wonderful mandala with a lot of texture and beautiful arched shapes.
Diwali is the Hindu festival of lights. It symbolizes the spiritual “victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.” During the festival, the celebrants illuminate their homes, temples, and workspaces with diyas (oil lamps), candles, and lanterns. Often, the festivities are marked by fireworks, lots of confectionery, and decorations with flowers. The most remarkable image many of us might know is a river full of unlit floating lights during this festival by night. I tried to capture the colors, flames, flowers, and, above all, in this new crochet pattern.
Diwali is not a real circle-shaped mandala pattern; however, this would be possible if you would like to put it into a ring. The shape of the design would only change slightly.
I am also very excited to see what Diwali will look like in different yarn cakes with a gradient color change. It is always wonderful to see your pattern made in various versions – but with this pattern, I am truly very excited to see it.
Some general information:
Yarn Requirements: This pattern is made with an ombre type of yarn. For this version, I took one Cotton Kings Twirl deluxe cake in color number 14. The cake contains 250 grams of yarn and has a length of 1000 meters. You will use approximately 950 meters of yarn.
Crochet hook needed: I recommend a 3.0mm hook.
Size: The diameter of the outcome will be 85 cm/ 34 inches.
For this pattern, there is NO chart or video available due to the complexity of the pattern.
Although this pattern isn’t complicated to stitch knowledge, you must read a written pattern well. There is a lot of text to read – and with it, it is essential to know written patterns to crochet the right stitches in the right places. A photo is attached to see how the result might look after the Round at each Round. This might give a good view of what is meant in the written parts.
And where to get the pattern?
As usual, the pattern is available as a digital download at my Etsy and Ravelry shop;
After purchase, you can download a PDF file of the pattern in English (US) and Dutch.
When downloading files, you can choose between a complete pattern with text and photos or a print-friendly version with only text.
