Here is Apollo’s Acknowledgement. A beautiful textured pattern that is inspired by the Greek god Apollo - son of Zeus. The history of the Greek gods is a vibrant and deep subject to get lost in, and once you start reading about all the different gods - you also learn they all had their abilities. Apollo, in this case, was known as the god of sun and light. Besides that, he also was a great warrior who knew his way with the bow and arrow. And these are just two of his excellent skills. I tried to bring back these elements into this arrow by creating rays of the sun and small arrows. This pattern can be used for many things. As a wall hanging, a rug, take a centerpiece out of it and create a cushion with it - the options are endless.

Some general information about the pattern:

• I created two versions. One is made with a Scheepjes Whirl, which is the blue/purple version. This one is made with a 3.0mm hook and a Scheepjes Whirl 769 Blackberry Mint Chip. This version will deliver a mandala with size approx. 75-80 cm. The second version is done with a Scheepjes Whirligig, which is the yellow/blue version. This one is done with a 4.0mm hook and a Scheepjes Whirligig 203 Teal to Yellow. This version delivers a mandala with size approx. 85-90 cm.

• As I made two versions, you can see what a fingering weight and a DK weighted type of yarn do for this pattern. The details are all written down in a pattern.

• It is possible to capture this pattern into a ring. I did with the purple version, and instructions are written down in the pattern to do so. Important to know, first crochet the pattern before choosing a ring size as the outcome can variate.

• use of a ring is optional. The yellow version is done without one.

• the pattern includes a detailed written version guided by photos. Unfortunately, there is no chart or video available for this pattern.

• the pattern is available as a PDF download after purchase. The pattern is written in English - US terms. We also have a Dutch and French versions available. The Dutch version is translated by Tineke Tap, and the French version is translated by Celine Kavanagh.

There was a small errata in Round 10. It said to make sts around the fp st of Round 10 - this had to be Round 9. In the meantime, the pattern is updated.

• De NL versie bevatte een fout in Ronde 11. Dit moest een rstv3sam zijn i.pv. een rst3sam. Inmiddels is de versie ge-update.
