Welcome to Be-leaf! A mandala pattern full of leavy parts and a lot of nature-inspired influences. Like Euphoria, this is one of those challenging patterns as the design evolves in every Round. The final result, however, is breathtaking. You will find whole leaves, starting leaves, and even leaves with blossoming flowers. The title is a nice gesture, but there is a second message in this title. Believe in yourself, believe that you can create something like this, and believe that the world is getting brighter by making this!

General information about the pattern:

  • 1 Scheepjes Whirl is needed - the example is made in colorway 761 Pistachio oh so nice.

  • crochet hook size of 2.5mm is used.

Size: The diameter of the Whirl version will become 100 cm.
A ring is optional; if you like to use one, take the above diameter for a ring. However, it is better to crochet the project first and then decide on the ring size.
