The Crochet Rainbow Mandala Waistcoat by Sara Huntington’s pattern is worked in rounds of lace from a central colour wheel – with armholes positioned part way round, and the top folds over to form a collar.
Crochet Rainbow Mandala Waistcoat
The soothing process of working the colourful stitches of a mandala is amplified with this creative project. Vibrant lacy rounds radiate from a central colour wheel, resulting in a breathtaking sleeveless garment that hangs beautifully and is a joy to make.
The Crochet Rainbow Mandala Waistcoat length from the top of the shoulder to the lowest part of the shawl is 74cm. It measures 36cm across shoulders between the armholes, and 54cm across the bust line at the back between the armholes.
The model in this photo is a UK size 8 and given these measurements, the shawl will comfortably fit up to a size 14 – but if you want to make it in larger sizes, please see our update below.
Sara worked Crochet Rainbow Mandala Waistcoat design in Cascade Ultra Pima yarn, which is 100% cotton; the Rainbow Mandala Waistcoat uses one skein each of nine colours: Gold, Tangerine, Dark Sea Foam, Sunshine, Spearmint, Delphinium, Pansy, Poppy Red and Aqua. The pattern also includes an alternative colourway made in pretty pastels too!
And if your little one is envious of your new crochet waistcoat, fear not – the pattern is also available in kids sizes! You can find the pattern on Ravelry here (and you if you buy both you get the kids pattern at a discounted price!)

As you’ve noticed the Crochet Rainbow Mandala Waistcoat is a pretty one on blouse or poncho or jacket if you want to call it that fits beautifully at any age and woman.
You don’t have to limit yourself to just a skinny or average woman, but also a fatter woman without any problem. Even because all women have the right to wear what they like regardless of their weight, size and stature.
