Mandala Crop Top Vest

A stylish BoHo Mandala Dreamcatcher Top worked in the round, inspired by my work with mandala art over the past 20 years. May also be worn as a short-waisted vest.

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.

Note: Pattern is written left-handed but has been tested by both right and left handed crocheters successfully.

Pattern includes:

Two different tie options: Single ties or Triple ties to create a corset-like appearance.
