This colourful mandala pattern is intermediate in level. It uses a variety of clusters, shells, and front post stitches to create a stained glass effect. The magic ring, back post stitches, standing starts and invisible joins are also used. Written instructions are included for all atypical stitches. Written instructions and photos for the various steps of the pattern are included as well as a detailed crochet chart.

This pattern is written in UK crochet terms. This pattern is in 1 size, and when worked to gauge it fits within a 25cm ring or hoop.

Scheepjes Catona yarn can be purchased in 10g and 25g balls which are perfect for efficient yarn usage in this project.

You will need
• 3mm crochet hook
