While I was working up the sample of my Griffin Shawl, I knew I wanted to come up with a similar design for a crochet afghan pattern that was worked in the round. Beginners and seasoned crocheters alike will love that the Centaur Mandala Afghan pattern uses simple crochet stitch pattern repeats to create the textured design, making it perfect for those days when you need to sit, crochet and decompress. Pair this crochet blanket pattern with Lion Brand Yarns Mandala, a self-striping yarn, and all of the colorwork is done for you making this a perfect crochet project for binge watching your favorite TV show. And I don't know about you, but my favorite part of self-striping yarns is that I'm not left with a bunch of ends to weave in!
