These Mandrakes haven’t quite matured, so their screams won’t be fatal, however, auditory protection is highly recommended before the completion of this pattern.

In the pattern, there are 3 different mandrake expressions to create: sleepy, cute and angry, along with 3 different plant topper options. Your mandrake can be customised to your liking. The pattern also includes a pot design for your mandrake to sit in so whenever you need to grasp your mandrake to re-pot, it can easily come out.

This PDF crochet Pattern contains 8 pages of information and photos so that you can create your own mandrake
