Santocha is a Sanskrit word that means contentment, and in yoga, it’s one of the key points for happiness and cultivating positive thinking. Crocheting mandalas is a therapeutic way to help heal the soul; leave aside your worries while crocheting each round of the design.

The Santocha Cushion is made using the overlay crochet technique, where the stitches are overlaid on previous rows using different colors, which creates the look of embroidery. It’s crocheted in a circular way, with a different color in each round, and finished with optional tassels all around.
