Crochet round vests (or circle jackets) can be very different. Whirl Mandala Cardigan is my own version of this beloved garment shape. Plain circle instead of lace mandala in the center gives it a classical look, and soft gradient color changes of Whirl yarn by Scheepjes make this garment unique. With just one skein you will create a fresh accessory for yourself or a gift for your relatives or friends. This free crochet pattern is aimed to beginners! Enjoy!

Level: Beginner

Materials: 1 skein of Whirl yarn by Scheepjes, 3.25mm (D) crochet hook or size needed to get an acceptable gauge, scissors, tapestry needle to weave in ends.
