You are the mandala queen! What are your top 3 tricks for crocheting a Mandala?
Using a colour gradient cake like a Scheepjes Whirl always makes a visually stunning mandala
Use a cotton or cotton blend yarn as the stitch definition is better
Always purchase your hoop (if you want to mount it to a hoop) after you finish the pattern and allow extra centimetres to ensure there is enough tension so it doesn’t sag!
What is your fave-ever project and when was the last time your frogged?
My most favourite project ever is probably my Scheepjes Ubuntu blanket using stone washed and river washed yarn. It was my first big complex project and I learnt so much about crochet doing it. I frogged a ribbed crochet beanie this winter because I got the sizing all wrong and it came down past my eyes 😂😂
How was Scheepjes Whirl to crochet your super-cute Play All Day vest?
I love Scheepjes Whirl! It is great to work with, the colours are amazing and seamlessly blend across. One of my favourites!
Sarah crocheted the Lotus and Blossom Mandala by The Guy with The Hook using Scheepjes Whirl Green Tea Tipple and a 3.5 hook. The finished mandala is mounted on an 80cm metal hoop.
