The Frozen Lotus is a new project by Johanna Lindahl. It is simple to crochet if you follow the photo tutorial included in the written pattern. You can use this mandala piece as a decorative motif or a doily. Feel free to use other colors, but we think this particular set really brings out the beauty of the design.

What Yarn and Hook Will I Need?

For the best look, use fine cotton yarns like Scheepjes Maxi Sweet Treat or Scheepjes Maxi Sugar Rush. These yarns give you clean stitches that highlight the elegant lace details of the pattern.

For this project, a 2 mm hook is recommended. However, if you decide to use fingering weight yarn instead of thread, use a 3.5 mm hook.

Techniques You’ll Need for This Pattern

The Frozen Lotus is a pattern that requires an intermediate level of crochet skills. It uses a mix of basic stitches as well as more advanced techniques like post stitches, bobbles, and picots.

A key technique in this pattern is stitch clustering, where you work several stitches together to create a raised effect. While the pattern may look complex, it is achievable with some patience and practice.

Creative Project Ideas

The Frozen Lotus pattern can be used in many ways. If you want a traditional table doily, just block it with water to keep its shape. You can also turn this crochet mandala into a dream catcher by attaching it to a metal or wooden hoop and adding tassels. It will make a lovely wall-hanging decoration in many room settings!
