The Amaterasu Mandala pattern is featured in Scheepjes Pattern Portfolio Volume 2 – Whirl, a collection dedicated to striking crochet mandalas. Designed by Yessabett Bueno, this mesmerising piece is crocheted using two cakes of Scheepjes Whirl, showcasing the yarn’s long-gradient colour transitions in full splendour.


Named after Amaterasu, a figure associated with light and radiance, this mandala reflects a sense of warmth and illumination. To expand your creative options, Scheepjes Cotton Whirl—identical in gauge and made from 100% Organic Cotton—is also a perfect choice.


With clear instructions and detailed charts, featuring alternating colours for clarity, this edition makes crafting intricate mandalas an inspiring journey.

I’m Yessabett Bueno from Chile, living currently in the south of Chile. I’ve been crocheting for 25 years. I fell in love with handcrafts as a child and learned everything in a self-taught way and since 2017 I’ve been professionally designing crochet garments and patterns for an international audience.
Today, I’m a full-time crochet designer and crochet teacher.
Nature is one of my greatest sources of inspiration, specially the sense of balance and symmetry found in organic forms. Interestingly, nature rarely offers perfect symmetry; instead, it presents repetition, variation, and subtle irregularities, which I find deeply inspiring .I often explore structure and repetition through visual motifs patterns, with a strong emphasis on textures and colorwork techniques such as mosaic, overlay, filet, brioche,etc. You can find me on Instagram.
