When making a mandala to fit inside a hoop the important thing is to make it smaller than the finished hoop size. I like to used cotton yarn for my mandalas in a dk weight with a 4 mm or 4 5 mm crochet hook. Attic24 mandala wheel i ve designed this mandala wheel as part of a big creative project that i am co ordinating for yarndale the amazing yarn festival i help to organise. 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.

Choose 4 colours to use for the central flower and 4 to use for the surrounding mandala circle. There are 12 rounds in total so there are twelve colour decisions that need to be made when making this mandala. When choosing colours for your mandala i would suggest picking out a palette of 8 colours. I absolutely love love love love the finished effect kind of bold and delicate flamboyant and dainty all at once.

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. Attic 24 mandala what really got me started on all this mandala making was this post. This creates a neat taut finish baggy saggy mandala hoops are a no no.
