Blodyn Mandala

This simple mandala is a perfect quick make for gifts, craft fairs or to beautify your own walls! It is designed especially for beginners to mandalas or more experienced crocheters who want a small project that is relaxing & meditative. I find making & looking at mandalas so calming & love to have them on my walls. I hope you find this design as enjoyable to make as I do! The pattern has been tech edited & thoroughly tested by a large group of fabulous testers to ensure accuracy & clarity. There are handy tips & video links to help with any potentially tricky parts. Skill level: Adventurous beginner / intermediate. Materials required: Yarn: 122y yards / 112 metres of #2 weight, fine, sport, 4 ply yarn. I recommend 100% cotton yarn as it gives great stitch definition, but any yarn composition can work for this project. Hooks: 3mm (US C-2 / D-3) crochet hook or hook needed to obtain gauge. Notions: 30cm / 12” thin hoop, tape measure, tapestry needle & scissors. Finished measurements: Your finished mandala before attaching to hoop will be between 26cm / 10.25” and 28cm / 11” in diameter. Construction: In the round on the right side throughout, with the final round crocheted directly around the hoop to finish. Gauge: Rounds 1 to 5 should measure 4” / 10cm in diameter. A huge thank you to my wonderful group of volunteer testers!
