Choose 4 colours to use for the central flower and 4 to use for the surrounding mandala circle.
Attic 24 mandala.
I ve found that you need around 2 to 2 5 cm all around so that the mandala can be gently pulled out and stretched when attached to the hoop.
When making a mandala to fit inside a hoop the important thing is to make it smaller than the finished hoop size.
There are 12 rounds in total so there are twelve colour decisions that need to be made when making this mandala.
I absolutely love love love love the finished effect kind of bold and delicate flamboyant and dainty all at once.
I designed the attic24 mandala wheel to be a quick and simple make something decorative that could be pinned to the wall or laid on the table to bring a flash of colour to the room.
But this is a really easy fun little creative make and i hope you might be inspired to hook up a few to use as table mats or wall art to brighten up a small corner of your home.
Lucy from attic 24 has asked people the world over to crochet a mandala and send it to her so that she can create a breathtaking wall display of mandalas for yarndale.
I like to used cotton yarn for my mandalas in a dk weight with a 4 mm or 4 5 mm crochet hook.
