Rainbow Mandala Crochet Blanket Pattern
I have something equal parts exciting and adorable for you today. I’ve been working in the background for a bit now to bring you this tooth-achingly sweet baby blanket crochet pattern.
This pattern is made up of a single mandala that is squared off and joined together to create just the most squishy and gorgeous baby blanket. Finished squares are approximately 12 inches across and finished 9 square baby blanket is approximately 38 inches across. Of course, this will vary depending on your tension and yarn/hook choice.
I took to my Instagram for help naming this blanket and one of my followers said the colors reminded them of old fashioned candy and suggested the name “Candy Jar”. I looooved the idea and so here you have the Candy Jar Blanket.
“Candy Jar” Mandala Baby Blanket Pattern
I used Lion Brand Ice Cream yarn for my blanket in the color “tutti fruitti”. There are over 20 different colorways in the Ice Cream line and they’re all so pretty. It retails for 4.99 at Hobby Lobby where I purchased mine. Find current deals on Amazon below.
Of course, it doesn’t have to be a baby blanket. With the addition of more squares you could make this as big as you’d like to fit any sized bed. Or it could be worked up in solid colors. I’d looove to see other color variations. Make sure to tag me on Instagram or Facebook @psychedelicdoilies with your finished product and use the hashtag #candyjarblanket.
