Name: Graphite Mandala
Brand: Lilla Björn Crochet

Graphite Mandala uses overlay crochet with brioche look.

The pattern contains lots of progress pictures to show stitch placement and is much easier to crochet than it might look :) Every round is worked with one color, and yarn is changed at the beginning of every new round. There is no yarn cutting and no ends to weave. After every round the yarn is brought up to the next rounds on the wrong side, so there are small floats of yarn at the mandala’s back.

Lilla Bjorn Crochet

Hello! My name is Tatsiana. I am the designer of crocheted home accessories and toys behind Lilla Björn Crochet. “Lilla Björn” means “little bear” in Swedish. I am not from Sweden, but I love cold and grey sea, fresh windy air, and I like to crochet little bears. I enjoy creating new things, combining colours and drawing with yarn. I mostly enjoy the process of creating and often become “indifferent” when the project is finished. It’s a shame but I have dozens of “almost finished” sweaters and shawls waiting for their new life. I can spend hours learning new techniques, and overlay crochet is my beloved at the moment. It is amazing that you can actually recreate everything in crochet using this technique! Please, check my work, designs and free patterns on my blog:www.lillabjorncrochet.com.
