In deference to you crochet ninjas, here is a challenging pattern to test your hooking chops. The Tender Touch of Sunbeams Mandala pattern by Evelin Karu uses a lacy, sparse disc between a denser center and outer rim. Its delicate structure almost gives it the appearance of a spoked wagon wheel!
What Makes This Mandala Pattern Unique
Who would like to keep that warm summery vibe all year round? With this stunning crochet mandala pattern, it is easier than ever! Inspired by golden wheat fields and sunny summer days, it boasts a head-turning 3D design ready to bring warmth and rustic charm into your home.
Material Recommendations
If you want to recreate the same mandala look from the photo, use Scheepjes Catona fingering yarn and a 3 mm crochet hook. You will need one skein for each of the following colors: Caramel, Primrose, Anthracite, Hazelnut, and Apple Granny.
Prepare also a tapestry needle, stitch markers, and a 35 cm metal ring.
Skill Level and Stitch Techniques
This is a great project for an advanced crocheter who would like to make a very decorative item. The pattern incorporates different variations of tall and post stitches to produce realistic wheat motifs and a complex textural look.
The designer provides detailed stitch instructions and helpful photo aids to make sure you can complete your mandala successfully.
Where to Use Your Finished Mandala
The finished crocheted mandala is about 16″ across, which makes it perfect for a wall hanging. Place it on the wall in your living room or bedroom and watch it spread summer vibes throughout the space. You can also use it as a centerpiece doily on your dining table or hallway dresser.
