I created this pattern to give new crocheters the opportunity to practise a wide range of crochet stitches.

You can read all about the mandala and why it is called the Naissance Mandala over at my blog, where you will find a step by step photo tutorial illustrating each round and a crochet diagram.

The pattern is written in UK crochet terms

I used DROPS Paris to make my mandala in the following shades:

16 white
02 light turquoise
21 light mint green
35 vanilla
27 peach
33 medium pink

The final mandala measures 250 mm in diameter.

I hope you choose to make the mandala and I would love to see your creations if you do.
