This mandala was designed for a workshop, as a simple example of how to make mandalas more lacy and to add a bit of texture with crossed stitches. It is a good one to try if you want to experiment more with your mandalas.
I used 4 colours in the design but it would look wonderful with 7 or 8 colours.

It is available only in the ebook ‘Magical Mandalas’

The pattern is written in English crochet terms only.
