This mandala is knitted back and forth, then joined and blocked to shape. It’s knitted with scraps of 4 ply yarn and measures about 26 cm / 10 “ across. A felt backing gives it more weight so that it can be used as a mat.

This pattern can be used as a template for designing your own knitted mandalas, using any combination of colours and stitches.

All my ravelry patterns are free to download but, if you enjoy them, please consider making a donation to the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, a charity which funds research and supports the families of children with a liver disease. You can do this easily by going to my fundraising page www.justgiving.com/frankiesknittedstuff

Happy Knitting!
