The name of this crochet pattern will actually conclude the entire design, it is a euphoric feeling it delivers to you after finishing it. A beautiful large mandala pattern can be crocheted into a ring or be used as a rug for example. For me, this pattern has an extra dimension when designing it. Crocheting is a part of my life that I won’t give up as it keeps me calm and gives me the moment of rest in a day I need. Still, in a physical way, it also delivers some problems lately and it is getting harder to continue doing it. Still, the feeling I get when once again completing a design like this, is what Euphoria is. It will let me forget the long and painful way of creating it. So, let this pattern be your moment of Euphoria as well!

Some general information about the pattern:

  • the pattern is made with one Scheepjes Whirl in colorway 564 Golden Glowworm. You will need about 900 meters of yarn, so take in mind you will not need the entire cake. I also made a Whirligig version later which delivered the same conditions.

  • for the Whirl version I used a crochet hook size of 2.5mm and for the Whirligig version, I used a 4.0mm hook size.

  • Before buying the pattern - take note this pattern doesn’t hold a chart! It is written out carefully and there are photos to guide you through. Still, I want to make it very clear that reading is the key to succeeding in this pattern. It isn’t hard, but there is a lot of text to cover.

  • Stitches used in the pattern are only sc-hdc-dc and ch-sps.

  • The size of the pattern will be 90 cm in diameter. This is measured after being blocked or crocheted into a ring. The use of a ring is optional - if you like to use one, I used a 90cm diameter ring. However, I would advise you to first crochet the pattern and afterward choose the ring size as tension can variate.

  • if you purchase the pattern, you will receive a PDF file to download. For this pattern, I created two versions - one with only the written version and one with the written version and photos. This will be convenient for printing for those advanced crocheters out there.

  • the pattern is available in English (US) and Dutch.
