For as long as I can remember I have been obsessed with the sea. This mandala creates the prettiest sun motif in the centre which reminds me of the sunset on a beautiful beach so that’s where it gets its name!

You can choose to frame this mandala in an embroidery hoop or you can block it to make a beautiful doily or whatever strikes your fancy! The finished size will either be 7 inch or 8 inch depending which hoop you choose. If you chose to block the mandala then the finished size will be smaller than the ones in a hoop.

This mandala pattern is suitable for any crocheter that is familiar with the common stitches. If you haven’t made a mandala before this is an easy one to start on.

To complete this pattern you will need to understand the following techniques -
