Autumn Flower Mandala

Autumn Mandala Month continues, the mandala pattern for this week is a celebration of autumn’s cozy charm with a blooming flower in the center, surrounded by layers of color that resemble the changing leaves and golden sunlight of fall.

When designing the Autumn Flower Mandala, I wanted to capture the balance between the end of summer flowers and the richness of autumn. The center flower represents warmth and comfort, while the outer layers build texture and depth, much like the way autumn layers the world in color.

Here we go a skein fresh off the hook:

The Autumn Flower Mandala was designed with beginners and busy crocheters in mind, it works up quickly using basic crochet stitches like chain (ch), double crochet (dc), half double crochet (hdc) and single crochet (sc) stitches and a few spike single crochet stitches. 

Whether used as a table centerpiece, framed as wall art, or part of a larger seasonal collection, the Autumn Flower Mandala radiates cozy elegance and handmade charm. It’s a lovely reminder that beauty continues to blossom even as the seasons change.

Stay tuned for next week’s mandala, the last in the Autumn Mandala collection.

Have a hooky day! Lynne

Harvest Bloom Mandala

I can not believe it is already mid October, sweater weather has begun, the leaves are falling and Halloween is just around the corner. This weeks mandala is called the Harvest Bloom Mandala, it celebrates the beauty of the season in a fresh, contemporary palette. The Harvest Bloom Mandala blends the warmth of orange with the elegance of black, gray, and white for a look that’s both festive and timeless.

Here we go a skein fresh off the hook:

This pattern is great for crocheters of all skill levels, using basic crochet stitches such as double crochet (dc), half double crochet (hdc) and single crochet (sc) with a few special stitches. The special stitches include front post half double crochet (fphdc), front post dc (fpdc) and the Picot (P). Beginning crocheters can quickly learn the special stitches!

The inspiration for this mandala comes from the beauty of the fall landscape. The fiery glow of pumpkins and leaves set against misty gray skies and the dark silhouettes of bare branches.

Harvest Bloom is part of Autumn Mandala Month, a special series of crochet designs inspired by fall's colors and textures. Pair it with the Pumpkin Glow or Falling Leaves mandalas to make a beautiful display that celebrates the season.

Gather your yarn, settle in with your favorite drink, and start stitching your own autumn mandalas.

Have a hooky day! Lynne
