I’ve been dreaming to design a stained glass mandala since long ago. And my dream has come true. This double layered mandala potholder is crocheted in overlay crochet technique with elements of tapestry crochet. When not used in the kitchen it can be hung on a wall. And if you don’t crochet a bottom part for this potholder it can serve as a decoration for a table or a nice appliqué for your old (or new) pillow cover.

This easy to follow pattern (16 pages) is written for one size It contains step by step full written instructions in English using standard crochet abbreviations and US terms (stitch guide is given in the pattern). It also contains lots of pictures explaining all the tricky and difficult places.

Crochet level: Intermediate (front post stitches are used in this pattern and some rounds are crocheted with yarns of two colors at the same time).

The size of the finished mandala depends on the yarn and hook you use. Mine is approx. 20 cm (8 inches) large.

Materials:

** Yarn of five colours: cream pink, beige, gray, purple and dark blue. I used yarn “Catania” by Schachenmayr (50g/1.76 oz., 125 m/137 yds.)

Yarn weight: Sport
Texture: 5 ply (12 wpi)

** Crochet hook 2.75 mm (C) or the size that will give an acceptable gauge.

** Scissors and Tapestry needle to weave the ends.

There are two copies of the pattern offered to download: one is very detailed with many pictures, and second copy is printer friendly (with written instructions only and no pictures).
