Free Mandala Crochet Pattern
This fun mandala uses simple stitches to create a fun mandala. You can use as many colors as you like. I have created 3 different looks on this mandala, using 2 and 3 colors each but this pattern would look great in one color or as many as seven different colors, what colors will you use?
