The number one characteristic of a crochet mandala pattern is definitely its range of colors, with many projects changing yarn every round! This makes watching these patterns unfold extremely satisfying. Doilies, on the other hand, feature beautifully intricate motifs and use more advanced techniques, such as raised stitches, to create texture.
Our library of free patterns for mandalas and doilies contains both simple, easy-to-make designs, which use basic stitches, and more intricate pieces. Whether you are a beginner or a crochet expert, crocheting a colorful mandala will be a fantastic adventure!

Mandala means “circle” in Sanskrit and is a meditative symbol in Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Today you can see them translated into various arts and crafts – in paintings, ceramics, or fiber arts. Crochet mandalas have become very popular in recent years, mainly as decorative pieces, such as wall hangings, placemats, or blanket components. You can incorporate a colorful crochet mandala in the pillow covers or use the smaller ones as coasters!
If you’re looking for a classic crochet doily pattern, you are in the right place! Our library is full of designs that will elevate the look of your home. While making crochet doilies can be a challenge, admiring the finished work is a true pleasure. You can use them to cover delicate furniture or as decorative centerpieces, but you can also treat them as a unique piece of art. Frame them and feature on the wall to showcase their true beauty! This kind of handmade item is also a fantastic and very personal wedding gift and will surely remain a cherished keepsake.
It’s quite simple – the project type defines the right yarn type. Most crochet mandala patterns use colorful cotton yarn, whether they are used as placemats, centerpieces, or mounted to the hoop for a wall display. Cotton yarn comes in many colors and is lovely to work with.
If your mandala is a part of a bigger project, such as a blanket or a pillow cover, the design often calls for wool or woolen blends. That’s fine, too – make sure you read pattern notes carefully.
Crochet doilies are more intricate, so they often use lightweight yarn or thread. The smaller the hook and finer the yarn, the more detailed and elegant the result. Working with tiny tools may be a challenge for some, but the final effect is worth it! Inspired by antique lace, these doilies are very delicate and detailed.
To make your crochet mandala or doily truly shine, don’t forget to block it. What is blocking? This process requires wetting the finished project and pinning it in place with rust-free pins to dry. If you pair it with a stiffening solution, you can be sure your doilies will keep their shape and become super symmetrical.
