Here are the materials used for this project:
- 5mm crochet hook
- Worsted weight yarn: 100% acrylic (7 colors of rainbow)
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Note: I used a chainless starting double crochet for every first double crochet of each row/round instead of chain 3. Another effective technique is to use chain 2, double crochet into the same stitch (counted as 1st double crochet). In the pattern below, I simply state double crochet into the first stitch for every first double crochet of each row/round, so just choose your best technique.
You can use any hook size for this Crochet Wheel to Love Mandala pattern, just choose a yarn type that matches.
The sample mandala is approximately 10 inches in diameter.
Special Stitches Used
2dc-V stitch: (2dc, ch2, 2dc) into the same stitch or space.
