Here’s a fresh makeover for a crochet classic. Mandala symbols have their origins in Hinduism, where they represent the universe. They were later adopted by the psychedelic movement of the 60s, and came to be associated with all things hippy. We’re happy to see them revived and updated though, and these rainbow versions will suit a wide variety of interior styles even if boho’s not really your bag. Use them as potholders, table decorations, coasters, sew them to a cushion or hang them on a wall. Plus, there’s so many stitches to try in one project – we can’t wait to get stuck in.
