Attic 24 mandala.

Choose 4 colours to use for the central flower and 4 to use for the surrounding mandala circle. 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. 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.

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. The key thing is not to make your mandala too big the best effect comes from being able to stretch the mandala out to fit the ring so that the pattern opens up and the surface of the crochet becomes quite taught. This creates a neat taut finish baggy saggy mandala hoops are a no no. There are 12 rounds in total so there are twelve colour decisions that need to be made when making this mandala.

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 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. Attic 24 mandala what really got me started on all this mandala making was this post. 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.
