20. Sun-Washed Bohemian Mandala Throw
What This Idea Means
A stunning centerpiece blanket anchored by a large, intricate central mandala motif that expands outward into a square throw filled with textured stitches.
How to Make It
Start from the center working in the round, building a complex mandala featuring puff stitches, front-post reliefs, and delicate lacework in sun-washed terracotta, dusty rose, sage, and cream. Transition the round mandala into a square blanket using corner-turning stitches, and finish with a decorative lacy border.
Tips and Variations
- Block the circular-to-square transition very carefully to prevent cupping or rippling.
- Use a gradient yarn cake for the mandala body to create effortless color transitions.
- Display draped over the back of a statement armchair or piano bench.
