Tricky Triangles is a new way of making mandalas. It can be very meditative once you get the rhythm. The final product will be softer and more drapey than a traditional mandala. It’s excellent for something like a pillow or a table topper.

NB. For an introduction to this new way of working, try the free pattern Tessa’s Triangles. It’s available in Ravelry too.

The written pattern is in US terms (and Danish) and has plenty of photos and illustrations.
