It has become a tradition for me to design a Mandala to use as a CAL between Christmas and New Year (Twixmas).

This mandala can be made in any yarn provided you use a suitably sized crochet hook. I prefer to use double knit (DK) yarn and a 4mm hook and the finished size for mine is about 29cm (11¼”) across at the widest point after blocking, it was about 1cm (½”) less before blocking. It uses small quantities of colourful yarn of your choice, up to 20g/18m of each colour at the most. The only colour design I would suggest is that centre, rounds 1, 2 and 12 should be the same colour – otherwise let your colour choice lead you to something magical!

This year I have also made a mandala in 4ply yarn using a 3mm hook. The finished size is about 25cm (10”) across after blocking, it was about 1cm (½”) less before blocking.

The Pattern Introduction is available now, each day from 26th to 31st December 2 or 3 rounds will be added to the pattern until the mandala is complete.

There are 2 versions of the pattern - one in UK crochet terms and one in US crochet terms, take care to download the correct version. The pattern also includes photos of each completed round.

Until midnight GMT on 24th December 2020 the pattern is on sale at 75% discount, no coupon code required.

Join in the Twixmas fun!
