Here’s how it works.
Welcome to Oombawka Design Crochet! Today, I’m sharing a brand-new crochet pattern you can make with 2 balls of Lion Brand Mandala Tweed Yarn. The Susannah Springtide Shawl is an easy-to-crochet project you can make over a weekend.
The Susannah Springtide Shawl by @oombawkadesigncrochet is a soft and cozy spring accessory. Embrace spring with this rectangular wrap draped over your shoulders, or across your lap. Soft, cozy and easy-to-crochet, this spring shawl is crocheted with 2 skeins of #mandalatweed by Lion Brand Yarn.
The yarn I used to make this lovely rectangular shawl was given to me by Yarn Canada.
The Lion Brand Mandala Tweed yarn is a beautifully soft, medium weight yarn [4] and the color transitions are done very cleverly. I did not cut and piece this yarn to make the shawl work, I simply crocheted my Susannah Springtide Shawl in one piece (other than adding my new ball and one color rejoin), from start-to-finish. I was happily surprised with how well the yarn transitioned from one color to the next.
When I crochet I always use a center pull method (if possible) and this cake of yarn was no exception. I did not have any knots, or tangles as I crocheted. I did have one small color-tied section from the manufacturer that I cut and rejoined before crocheting across it. I like to make my own, secure color joins – just to be sure it doesn’t come undone at a later time. The yarn did not pile, or leave any fluff while I crocheted and I really loved working with it.
The Mandala Tweed yarn is created by Lion Brand, by twisting 2 strands of their Mandala yarn together. The result is this pretty self-striping, tweed effect. Each 200 g cake of yarn includes 520 yards. The yarn is 100% acrylic and machine washable and dryable. Making it perfect for projects, like garments and blankets!
Did I remember to mention it is lovely and soft? When I was finished making this project, I actually wished I had more of the yarn to make something else. It was such a pleasure to crochet with, especially during the colder months when my fingers are a bit drier from the harsher weather.
Mandala Tweed is currently available in 3 colors: Lucky Penny, Seven and Dice. You can take a look at them here. I chose Dice to make my project as it reminded me of the colors of the crocus and daffodils that bloom first in my Spring Garden every year after our winter snow finally recedes.

Thanks Verna ๐
I have never bought any Mandala yarn, yet. For me, it’s the type of yarn that I definitely need to have the pattern requirements for yarn amounts, prior to purchase. This tweed is quite pretty. And since you mention how soft it is, I would assume that it would make a nice blanket as well. Your shawl is beautiful.
Hi Deanna, This pattern is available for free on my blog, or for sale in my Ravelry shop. Last year (in 2020) there was a crochet along event where a coupon code was available for participants for a limited time (last year 2020 in February). The pattern is no longer a free PDF download on Ravelry, but you can still get the full written pattern from my blog (where you commented) at the end of the post. I have my site set up so you can print a copy using the printer button on the left side of the screen or at the top of my post. It is linked to ‘printfriendly’ so you can remove images and extra bits of text before you print or save a copy. Hope this helps! Rhondda
I see the pattern on ravelry but cannot find the code it just sends me back to either page???
Hi Pamela! Thank you for catching this!! There should have only been one R41. I apologize for my mistake!!
Rhondda, I love this pattern. IQuestion: I saw two of row 41. Shouldn’t it be Row 40 – Row 41 and then next row be Row 42 instead of Row 41 again? and so on? Please clarify. Thank you.
Hi Judy, I wasn’t sure how it would turn out either and was pleasantly surprised!!I love how the yarn feels too ๐ Have a lovely weekend, Rhondda
SO pretty! Thank you so much for sharing the pattern. To be honest, I didn’t think the Mandala Tweed yarn was very appealing in its cake, but I LOVE the way your shawl turned out, and the colors blend so beautifully in a finished project. Just shows you can’t always tell a book by its cover, right?
