Granny Mandala

Description

If you’ve been looking for a comforting project to brighten up your stitching time, my Granny Mandala pattern is just the ticket. This lovely circular piece is incredibly satisfying to make, especially for beginners. We use the timeless double crochet stitch grouped together into classic “granny clusters,” which means you don’t have to worry about inserting your hook into tiny, hard-to-see stitches. Instead, you’ll be stitching directly into the open chain spaces from the previous round. It flows so naturally and quickly that you’ll watch your beautiful wheel of color grow right before your eyes!

These sweet mandalas are wonderfully versatile around the home. You can use them as bright table centerpieces, cheerful candle mats, or lovely trivets to dress up your dining room. They also make the absolute best “just because” gifts for friends and neighbors, as a handmade token of love always warms the heart. Because you change colors with every round, it is the ultimate scrap-buster project! You can dive right into your yarn basket and make each one completely unique.
