Shop the yarn

You can buy Scheepjes Catona from Scheepjes retailers, or from the webshops below:

Crochet hook

3.0mm (US size C/2).

Measurements

The finished mandala in its ring is 25cm (10in) in diameter.

Gauge/tension

After finishing Round 9, the mandala should measure 10cm (4in) in diameter.

Notes

  • The pattern is worked in the round. This means that you will always work on the right side of the pattern and not the backside.
  • The mandala is supposed to be approximately 23cm in diameter when Round 22 is finished. The Mandala looks best in its ring when it’s slightly smaller. In Round 23 you will stretch it to show off all the chain spaces in the pattern.

Erg fijn dat het in het nederlands is, maar waarom staan de steken dan in het engels? Zo goed is mijn engels nu ook weer niet. Geen idee wat er bedoeld word met sc, ss, dc etc. September 03, 2020 21:01 - Reply

Hi Erna,

je kan naar de Nederlandse versie van de pagina wisselen in het hoofdmenu. Je zit nu op de Engelse pagina (en dus het Engelse patroon) :) September 03, 2020 21:35 - Reply
