Only after living in tropical areas for quite a while did I realize what a pleasure it is to have four distinct seasons in a year and follow nature in its perpetual changes. That’s why I tried to capture the seasonal colours in this design. You can use these mandalas to make table decorations, top pillow covers, potholders, dreamcatchers or wall hangings, just follow your imagination!

Gauge:
Gauge is not crucial for this pattern. However your mandala should at all times stay flat.

Yarn:
√ 12 colours of yarn per mandala. The examples used leftover stash of fingering weight yarn. You can use any yarn you like. I recommend cotton for great stitch definition.
√ When working in fingering weight, you will need no more than 10 mtr/11 ½ yd of the first 9 colours and no more than 15 mtr/16 ½ yd of the last 3 colours.
√ If you use a thicker and heavier yarn, you will need a little more of each colour. This is a great design to use up bits and pieces in your stash.

Ch – chain
Ss – slip stitch
Sc – single crochet
Fpsc – front post single crochet (see special sts)
