The Cloud Catcher is a twist on a dream catcher designed to be either a large decorative doily or a pillow face. The suggested yarn is Scheepjes Sky, but any equivalent thickness should work. It’s a beautiful and versatile pattern ideal to cover a round side table or decorative cushion.
Materials Needed to Complete the Project
To bring this gorgeous mandala pattern to life, you will need fingering-weight yarn and a 2.5 mm crochet hook. The designer uses Scheepjes Skies Light in a beautiful gradient of shades.
Techniques Used In The Pattern
The Cloud Catcher is an intermediate pattern that is worked in rounds. It uses a combination of basic and slightly more advanced crochet stitches. Some of the main techniques are single crochet, back post half double crochet, and treble crochet.
Working in front loops and back loops gives extra texture and enhances the intricacy of the design. If you’re making a doily, block your work at the end to make sure it lays flat.

This crochet mandala pattern can used for multiple types of projects. Check out these cool ideas:
