crochet Mandala pom neck warmer

This beautiful crochet Mandala pom neck warmer is made with a Mandela yarn cake.

Lightweight and changes the color for you creating a really cute and warm cowl that you can wear all day without it becoming too hot.

There is a lot of texture here to keep it looking interesting following this simple pattern.

The pom pom trim is what I really love about it adding a beautiful edge to the whole piece.
