The book contains 20 beautiful designs for crocheted mandalas, in a range of sizes and colours and using different crochet stitches. There are patterns for a number of small mandalas (6-7 rounds plus an edging), medium mandalas (9-10 rounds plus and edging) and a few larger mandalas (14-15 rounds plus edging). The mandalas make great little coasters and mats for cups, glasses, vases, and so on and the book features some beautiful close-up photographs of the finished pieces, as well as overhead shots of all the designs. Lynne has used a variety of yarns including Hoooked Zpagetti to make a large mandala rug, the only really large project in the book. Otherwise, they are all very pretty little crochet projects - small, transportable, great for using up scraps of yarn - and they fit in perfectly with the current therapeutic colouring craze!

Stephanie Jane recenzis Crocheted Mandalas de Lynne Rowe

A great little book

4 steloj

Those of you who know me in person will already know how much I love to crochet. Therefore I was delighted to be offered a review copy of Crocheted Mandalas, a new title in the Search Press 20 to Make range of craft books. The mandalas are essentially doilies reimagined for the 21st century with bright bold colours and designs - none of granny's lacy sepia here! I particularly liked the Sunflower and the Citrus Mandalas, both of which were relatively simple to make and produced a striking effect. Rowe gives clear instructions in both UK and US crochet terminology and also suggests yarns to use although more experienced crocheters will no doubt substitute whatever they have to hand.

Crocheted Mandalas isn't a book for absolute beginners, but I think it would be perfect for people who have mastered crochet basics and want to progress, or those who have mislaid …

Crocheted Mandalas isn't a book for absolute beginners, but I think it would be perfect for people who have mastered crochet basics and want to progress, or those who have mislaid their crochet mojo and need a burst of technicolor inspiration! I love that the projects suit a mindfulness approach to life and could replace colouring in for some crafters. The mandalas will use up oddments and recycled yarns thereby being thrifty and environmentally friendly too. So all in all a great little book and my only real complaint is its binding. It doesn't easily lay flat so reading the instructions while attempting to crochet is tricky to say the least and flattening it out damages the spine, loosening the pages. Spiral binding would have been sensible!
