Crochet Mandala

If this is your first time crocheting mandalas, I should warn you. You will become obsessed with them in no time A mandala is basically a circle, and throughout centuries, it has been a symbol of completion. In art and religion, this ancient symbol combines with other circular patterns to give the whole item a spiritual significance. Generally, mandalas allow you to play with colors, but when you have more complex patterns, it is better to use just one color so that the focus is on the intricate pattern. How to use these flat crocheted circles? The main function of mandalas is to be decorative. So, they can be used as chair pads if they are thick enough. Either one or double-layered, structured or lace, you can also use mandalas as coasters, trivets, table covers, etc. Mandalas make great rugs, and you can even use old T-shirts to make T-shirt yarn.

What I mean is that this is a way of meditation, a way that calms you down as it draws your attention only on the pattern itself. So, pick a pattern, grab your hook and needle, focus on the pattern and start working on your mandala. Happy crocheting
