Sweetie Pie Mandala can be used in many different ways, and you can keep it plain or decorate it to suit your own taste, there are different examples on my website.

I used Stylecraft Classique cotton DK, you will need 2 50g balls, and a 4mm G hook.

You will also need a 30cm hoop, these are available in many craft stores and online.

Once you have made your Mandala, the hoop will need to be approx 1 inch/2.5cm larger than your unblocked Mandala.

The pattern is available as a photo tutorial in both UK and US terms.
