Techniques Used In This Crochet Mandala Pattern
You work this pattern in the round using mostly single crochet stitches and double crochet clusters. The frequent color changes create a vibrant design with gorgeous stitch texture.
This project is a great choice for you if you have a good understanding of the basics and feel comfortable with reading crochet written patterns. The designer also provides some helpful photos to support visual makers and those with little experience.
Can I Crochet This Mandala With Leftover Yarn?
With colors changed in every row, this crochet mandala is the perfect stash-buster. It requires very small amounts of yarn in various shades, so you should be able to use up some scraps left from your other projects. Just be sure to use yarn that has the same weight if you want to achieve a clean and consistent look.
The sample photographed features Schachenmayr Catania Solids, which is a sport-weight yarn available in nice, vivid colors. The designer paired it with a 2.50 mm crochet hook to produce a mandla that measures 4.7″ (12 cm) in diameter.
If you like the spring-like colorway suggested by the author, feel free to employ it for your project. However, I would also love to see shade combinations you came up with!
