Our Size & Fit Guide
You can make your mandala larger or smaller by continuing the rounds to whatever size you want. If you intend to hang it on a hoop or ring, it helps to finish the crochet and then choose a size that will fit well.
Stitches Employed
The tutorial uses single crochet and double crochet.
How to Do It.
Launch the Foundation
The first round is important to do carefully, starting in the middle so that the middle stays neat and flat.
Work the Main Piece
Continue to crochet outward in rounds, working the mandala one layer at a time. The more the pattern develops the more decorative and open the design becomes.
Resize
Repeat the round sequence until the desired size is reached. Occasionally check that the piece is lying flat and not pulling in.
Join or Mould
When you’ve finished the main design, tie off neatly and prepare the piece to hang if you want to use it as wall decor.
Complete the Edges
Weave in ends and gently shape the mandala so that stitch pattern is clear. • If needed, block lightly for a smooth, even appearance.
Helpful Tips
- Keep your tension even so the mandala will stay flat.
- If you lose track of round starts, use stitch markers.
- Every few rounds take a step back and check the shape.
- If you are changing colours, weave in the ends as you go.
- And light shaping at the end can really help out the final look.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Crocheting too tight
- Beginning of round missing
- Extra stitches accidentally cast on
- Allow the piece to curl, ripple, etc. without checking it
Customisation Ideas
Forgetting to fasten and tuck ends neatly
Go for soft neutrals for a calm boho look, or bright shades for something more playful. You can also change the finished size, add a hanging loop or make a few in different colours for a wall set.
