Falling Leaves Mandala

Description

The Falling Leaves Mandala may look intricate with its lovely layers, but it is an absolute joy for crocheters of all skill levels. If you are just starting out, it is a wonderful, reassuring way to practice your tension with classic stitches like the single crochet and double crochet. And if you are an experienced crafter, you will love how relaxing and satisfying it is to watch these gorgeous, repeating textures grow.

This lovely mandala is just the right size to bring a splash of seasonal joy to any corner of your life. It makes a gorgeous centerpiece for your dining room table, a lovely mat for your favorite teapot, or a cozy accent piece for a side table. Because it works up so beautifully, it also makes a wonderful, heartfelt gift for housewarmings, autumn birthdays, or Thanksgiving hosts. Anyone would be thrilled to receive something so full of handmade love.
