Sun to Sea Mandala Crochet Throw

The Sun to Sea Mandala Crochet Throw is a journey told in stitches and colour. It begins in the warmth of glowing sunlight — rich tangerines, soft golds, and earthy naturals — where each round builds with quiet rhythm and intention. As the mandala grows, the colours slowly cool, shifting like the day drawing toward evening, until the calm blues, greens, and gentle neutrals of the sea take over. Each section is revealed in its own time, inviting you to trust the process, enjoy the texture, and let the story unfold naturally. This is a project about movement and balance, about slowing down and finding joy in the making — a reminder that every stitch carries you forward, from sun to sea.

MYSTERY CROCHET ALONG STARTS 21 JANUARY 2026. Each new section is released on a Wednesday.
