African Flower Mandala

Description

There is something deeply comforting about watching colors dance together, and this beautiful African Flower Mandala is the most wonderful way to experience that magic. If you are a beginner, please don’t let all these lovely layers intimidate you, my dear. We will be using simple, foundational stitches like double crochet, and I will walk you through a delightful “Spike Stitch” that gives the central flower its beautiful definition—it is truly much easier than it looks! Step by step, round by round, you will watch your stitches grow into a miniature work of art.

This versatile mandala makes the most darling addition to your home, whether you use it to brighten up a side table, accent a favorite plant, or catch a sunny spot on your wall. Because it works up so beautifully, it also makes a heartfelt, thoughtful gift for a loved one’s birthday, a housewarming party, or just to let a dear friend know you are thinking of them.

• Clear, written instructions spanning 14 detailed rounds to guide you seamlessly from the center magic circle to the final scalloped edge.
