Crocheting the Mini Mandalas pattern by Raine Eimre is a great way to express creativity with bright colors and intricate lacework. Choose between three different mandala designs to add a little festive magic to your living space. Each finished mandala is a unique masterpiece, perfect for enhancing your home décor or gifting to loved ones.
Gathering Supplies for Your Mini Mandalas
To start this crochet mandala pattern, you’ll need some thread. The author suggests using two threads: Aunt Lydia’s Metallic 10 and Golo Mercerized Cotton 10. Both give the mandalas their delicate and intricate finish.
A 1.75 mm crochet hook is the perfect size for working with these fine threads. Prepare at least three hoops (4.35”/11 cm) on which you will build your mandalas.
The Art of Making Mini Crochet Mandalas
The Mini Mandalas are worked in the round. The pattern involves working with basic crochet stitches along with more advanced methods where you can combine single crochet and double crochet with triple crochet and cluster stitches.
You can choose from three designs: Merry Mandala, Snowball Mandala, and Holly Mandala.
How Big Are the Mini Mandalas When Finished?
After completion, these mandalas measure approximately 4.1 inches (10.5 cm) in diameter, making them perfect for small, decorative uses.
Because they are so small, you can make several mandalas in no time, making them perfect for detailing your holiday table settings or aiding in the creation of thoughtful, handmade gifts for loved ones.
