About this pattern

Materials

  • Hook size: 2.5 mm (US size C)
  • Yarn: Size 1/super fine/fingering. Cotton yarn is recommended for best results — you’ll need approximately 1200 meters (1310 yards). I used 2x Durable Colour Cake in Dutch Truffle (6011). One cake is just not quite enough, so I also recommend using Scheepjes Whirl with a matching Whirlette.
  • Ring: 80 cm (31.5 in) or material suitable for blocking
  • Optional wooden beads: 8 × 10 mm and 8 × 12 mm
  • Tapestry needle
  • Scissors

Skill level: Advanced / Expert
I recommend this pattern only if you already have extensive crochet experience.
This is a challenging and intricate pattern that uses many special stitches and techniques applied in different ways — including working in multiple layers for depth, Tunisian-inspired stitches, front and back post stitches, and more. The final 13 rounds are time-consuming due to the complex stitch combinations and techniques. The layered leaf motifs also require patience. The pattern includes stitch explanations for all special stitches used. Tip: Work through this pattern step by step, focusing only on the round you’re currently making — don’t get overwhelmed by the total number of rounds or stitches.
Read all instructions for each round carefully before you start. Knowing what’s ahead really helps!
And of course, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Finished size: Please note that the final size of your mandala may vary depending on your personal crochet tension, hook size, and yarn choice. I recommend finishing your mandala first, then choosing a ring based on your finished diameter. Your ring should be about 20% larger than your mandala. For example, if your finished mandala measures 80 cm (31.5 in) across, choose a 100 cm (39.5 in) ring.
