Tonquin Mandala
All the fun of knitting a colorwork yoke sweater without having to do the boring endless rounds of the torso and sleeves!
The Tonquin Mandala is an engaging stash buster project resulting in a lovely display piece using your customized palette. Go ahead and customize your project even further by creating your own colorwork charts.Depending on your preferences, you may choose to add a clock mechanism kit or display the finished piece in all of its fiber glory!
You will need:
Approx. 100 g worsted weight yarn for MC
Approx. 30 g worsted weight yarn that contrasts well with MC for CC1
Approx. 30 g worsted weight yarn that contrasts well with MC for CC2
Approx. 30 g worsted weight yarn that contrasts well with MC for CC3
Floral hoop with 48 cm diameter
5 mm needles (or size needed for gauge) that will accommodate an increasing circumference.
Optional: Clock mechanism kit
This project starts in the center and is worked in the round, increasing outwards until the desired size. A turning row is worked to establish a border, and then a small decrease section is worked. The circular piece is then fitted and blocked around a metal floral hoop which is used for wall display.
