Crochet Mandala

Mandala Trio The Mandala Trio is one of my favorite mandalas to design and crochet! It is an intermediate pattern because of the tall cluster stitches that require some experience but once you get the hang of how they work, you end up repeating them several times in each mandala – and each mandala mirrors the others to make for a coordinated wall hanging! Purchase the Pattern Click here to purchase this pattern in my Etsy Shop I appreciate your[Read more]
