There’s something about the crisp air and vibrant colors of fall that brings out the creative spark in me. This year, I’ve been inspired by the rich hues of the season to create a brand new crochet project that I’m so excited to share with you—a mandala blanket! It’s a project that combines intricate design with the beautiful, soft tones of autumn, and I can’t wait to bring you along on the journey of its creation.

The Inspiration Behind My Crochet Mandala Blanket

Fall has always been my favorite season, not just because of the cooler temperatures and cozy vibes, but also for the stunning colors it brings. Deep burgundy, rich mustard, burnt orange, and earthy browns are everywhere you look, and I knew I wanted to capture those colors in my next crochet project. That’s when the idea for a crocheted mandala blanket was born. I wanted to create something that not only reflected the season but also felt like a true work of art—something both intricate and cozy.

The circular nature of a mandala makes it the perfect design for this blanket, symbolizing unity, balance, and the never-ending cycles of nature—exactly what fall represents to me. I’ve always loved crocheting mandalas because of their meditative quality, and translating that into a large, beautiful blanket has been a dream of mine for a while.

Choosing the Perfect Yarn: Hobbii Rainbow Bamboo

For this project, I wanted a yarn that would not only showcase the colors of fall but also feel luxurious to work with. I’m using Hobbii Rainbow Bamboo yarn, and let me tell you—it’s a dream. This yarn is made from 60% bamboo and 40% cotton, giving it the perfect combination of softness, strength, and drape. Plus, it has a beautiful sheen that makes the colors truly pop.

The fall color palette I’ve chosen includes warm oranges, mustard yellows, deep reds, and soft browns. These shades are perfect for creating a blanket that feels both comforting and vibrant, capturing the essence of the season.

My Design Process

Every crochet project starts with a vision, and this one was no different. I’ve drawn a rough sketch of my mandala blanket in Procreate, and I’m really excited about how the design is shaping up! My goal is to create a blanket that gradually expands with each round, incorporating intricate stitches and geometric patterns to mimic the symmetry of a traditional mandala.

I want this blanket to be more than just a throw—it’s going to be a statement piece that brings warmth and beauty into any room. Think of it as a functional work of art, perfect for curling up under with a cup of tea or draping over a favorite chair.

What’s Next?

I’m just getting started on this crochet mandala project, and I’ll be sharing updates here on the blog as I make progress. I plan to post sneak peeks, pattern details, and behind-the-scenes looks at how this blanket comes together. If you’re as excited about this project as I am, be sure to check back for updates and photos of my progress.

I’m also thinking about offering the pattern for this mandala blanket once it’s complete, so if that’s something you’d be interested in, let me know in the comments!
