Azure Mandala Circular Crochet Vest

The Mandala Circular Crochet Vest is a lightweight and stylish layering piece featuring a stunning circular lace design at the back and a flowing open-front silhouette. Designed with beautiful gradient transitions and airy stitchwork, this vest is perfect for layering throughout the seasons.

Whether styled casually with jeans or layered over dresses for a boho-inspired look, this vest creates an eye-catching statement while remaining comfortable and wearable.

The vest is worked primarily in rounds and uses simple stitch combinations to create intricate texture and drape.

This one has been a long time coming. It starts from a single circle, a full mandala worked from the centre out, and becomes a sweeping lace vest that you can wear long, fold into a wrap, or style as a shorter cardigan.

The ombre from cream through mint to deep teal practically works itself when you use the right yarn, and the golden hour photos we got of it honestly made me emotional.

It covers sizes XS–5X, and the construction is more straightforward than it looks if you’ve made a mandala before, this will feel familiar.
