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.
