TENSION

Tension is not critical for this project, but it may affect the yarn quantities required

MEASUREMENTS

Mandala measures approx 22cm (8¾in) across the diameter

ABBREVIATIONS

Fan (Tr, ch1, tr, ch1, tr, ch1, tr, ch1, tr) into st indicated

Beg tr5tog Ch2, tr4tog over next 4 sts skipping all ch-SPS in-between

Tr5tog (Yrh, insert hook into next st, yrh and pull up a loop, yrh and pull through two loops on hook) 5 times, yrh and pull through all loops on hook For a full list, see page 88

The front is normally where all the focus is, but the back is where it’s at for this embellished vest. The lacy mandala will be the focus of attention as you stride past your neighbors (at a safe distance of course). Just be sure to wear sun protection underneath!

NOTES

Mandala is worked in rounds with RS facing throughout. Where a stitch is worked at the end of a round to join to the first st, this counts as a ch-sp in the stitch count. For example, if working a ch2, tr into st at start of the round; this would count as 1 ch-5 sp.

MANDALA

Make a magic loop.
