Mandalas

Crochet Mandala made with cotton yarn displayed on a white background

I thought I would try something new to me, and with this project I did two new things. Firstly, it was my first attempt at making a mandala and, secondly, it was my first time working with cotton.

The yarn that I used was Scheepjes Catona. As you can see from my picture the small balls of cotton are really sweet.

I used hook size 2.5mm.

The mandala patterns that I used were from the wonderful Crochet Millan, and I recommend that you check out her patterns.

I gently blocked the mandalas on my blocking mats.
