Rainbow Chakra Mandala

Let’s crochet this **Rainbow Chakra Mandala**, a magical shape where your attention automatically gets drawn to the middle point of the circle. Such a beautiful project to crochet one yourself!  This project is aimed to **intermediate** crocheters, but I think that the **upper beginners can manage** it to crochet. The thing is that a upper beginner should be familiar with some special stitches: front and back post stitches and clusters. The colours in this mandala correspond to The Seven Chakra’s: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple. I used several tints of every main colour, feel free to give your Mandala your own colourway. **The project contains:** * Large format chart/diagram. * Full written instructions in English with US terminology. * Round by round photo tutorial. **Materials** **Yarn:** Scheepjes Sweet Treat in seven colours in two shades of every colour **Ring:** 40 cm in diameter Scissors, tapestry needle to weave in ends. You can use any similar yarn and suitable hook. The **size of the finished Mandala** depends on the yarn and hook you use. My Chakra Mandala made of cotton thread is **approx. ⌀ 38 cm blocked** and **⌀ 40 cm stretched in the hoop**. I made also one with Scheepjes Catona (125 m 50 grams) 2,5 mm hook. The Mandala with 18 rounds of this pattern suits also 40 cm hoop. **Pattern notes:** * Please make yourself **familiar with front and back post stitches** before you start. * I recommend learning how to make **standing stitches** and **invisible joins.****
