For the first time ever I've designed a crochet mandala, and I want to share the pattern with you. I've decided to post the pattern in four parts, the first one today, one tomorrow, one on Saturday and the last on Sunday. A more detailed pattern with more pictures and explanations will be available as a free Ravelry download at my
Ravelry store, later on.
I hope you will enjoy this pattern.
