A stylish BoHo Mandala Dreamcatcher Top worked in the round, inspired by my work with mandalas and dreamcatchers over the past 20 years.
Back features a center Mandala-Dreamcatcher surrounded by Back Loop double crochet and Mesh stitches to create both a raised texture and open weave look. The top has two different front tie options. Color changes can be made as often as desired to create narrow or wide stripes and enhance the look of the design.
