This amount will be enough to crochet mandala onto the hoop or wrap it around hoop if using metal one. • Ring to attach mandala - I used 45 cm wooden ring • Tapestry needle, scissors, measuring tape, pins. You can use any similar yarn and suitable hook. The size of mandala will depend on yarn and hook you use.
