Making Mandalas US Terms Edition: 27 Crochet Designs to Get Your Hooks Into

Inside the covers of this inspiring and colourful book, you will find 27 crochet mandala patterns for you to get your hooks into.

Mandalas are often associated with spirituality or the soul. They are considered as universal symbols, tools for reflection or self-expression, or pieces of art that represent or connect people with their inner selves or the lives they wish to lead.

Emily Littlefair, the author, is drawn to mandalas and finds it therapeutic and calming to design them. Her creations range in difficulty from simple mandalas that can be completed quickly to more intricate ones that require more time and focus.

The mandala crochet patterns are named after admirable virtues or states and are accompanied by photographs and charts, and even quotes for extra food for thought.

Stitch by stitch, page by page, bring abundance, determination, gratitude, and more into your life with a hook and yarn.
