Fabulous tutorial series! ⭐️ So clearly presented and easy to follow! THANK YOU much! 😃 I’ve made 3 of these now. I’d like to share with all that if you are more comfortable with a larger hook, I use a 3mm hook with about 5.5oz of Yarn Art Flowers - the result fits perfectly every time inside a 36” hoop. Large & STUNNING MANDALA! Makes a great gift! Thanks again for such a beautiful pattern! ❤

[@WizardofLoops]

You are so welcome, Erin! Please show your finished works on my FB Group - would love to see them =) or just tag me in your post on IG or FB.

[@elizabethrivera2348]

So excited to start! Beautiful

Hope you enjoy it!

Man I love mandalas. I'm gonna make this one. Hopefully I can find a metal hoop, craft stores near me seem to only hold wooden embroidery hoops? Maybe I'll have to improvise something hehe. Also super cool that it's not using the whole cotton king skein... I can make 3 different mandalas and they'll all go together! Great hallway deco! Thanks for tutorial

[@WizardofLoops]

Your welcome Em! Thank you for your kind words and I am totally agree with you - cool to have mandalas from one yarn cake as they look good together! Try to check online stores as well. I am buying from Amazon - lots of sizes and types. Hope you will find the right one!

Jeviens de finir mon mandala grace a vous malgré la barrière de la langue vous avez tellement,bien expliquer que je m'en suis sorti admirablement merci mille fois pour ces superbes explications trop bien faites

[@WizardofLoops]

Thank you Fabienne for such a lovely comment! We do try to make it understandable as possible. Glad you liked it!

Me aventurei a tentar sem falar inglês, só observando seus movimentos. Obrigada por mostrar tão detalhado. 🇧🇷😘

Thank you Jenifer! I hope it wasn't to hard to follow! Glad that you like it!

Mesmo não entendendo inglês, consigo acompanhar o vídeo. Muito bem explicado. Obrigada por compartilhar. 😘🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@WizardofLoops]

Thank you Elenice for your kind words! I was worrying if it will be understandable for other languages as well - now I know, that we are doing everything right.

I love this and can not wait to get started. ❤

[@WizardofLoops]

I hope you will enjoy it!

[@ladyandrea_1586]

Love this, but you definitely can't use any cotton yarn that you want. I've made 3 out of 3 different yarns so far and only have half the pattern in my 50 cm hoop. I just got some really thin cotton yarn that's more of a thread for my 4th. All in all, I'm very happy. Thank you

[@WizardofLoops]

Thanks for sharing! Sometimes it is not only because of the yarn. It also depends from the crochet hook size + your type of crocheting (loose or tight).

[@Kathkanso]

You are an amazing designer

[@WizardofLoops]

Thank you so much 😀

[@lindastout452]

On row 5 do i start with 3 SC ch3 picot and 2SC? I noticed that you make 3 sc ch3 2sc. But the captions say 2sc ch3 2sc. I love your tutorials and the designs. Do you have a Mandala called Luna? Or could you do a Crescent 🌙 Mandala? Just asking, Luna is my granddaughters name. And I would love to make one in her honor!

[@WizardofLoops]

Hi Linda. You should do 2sc ch3 2sc. Thank you for your kind words! We do appreciate it. At this point I don't have a pattern named "Luna" and plans are slightly different. But I will think about this idea. Enjoy your crocheting with us!

[@lea5347]

Hi, thank you for your tutorial! Do you think we can use a macrame yarn 2 mm?

[@WizardofLoops]

I am not sure how good will it be. Just try a few rounds and see if you like it or not.

[@lea5347]

Okay, thank you!

[@emilyrose5313]

Can anyone tell me what yarn weight is needed in US terms? Lace 0, superfine 1, fine 2 ? I want to make to fit same 50cm hoop as video.

[@WizardofLoops]

Hi Emily. I 've found some marks on my yarns and it is 2 (fine). Remember to use 1.75mm hook if you want to fit it in 50cm hoop. Enjoy your crocheting!

[@emilyrose5313]

@@WizardofLoops Thank you so much, I can't wait to make

[@WizardofLoops]

Your welcome!

[@autumnbottom555]

Hi! I just want to clarify this part but the part where you explain on ROW 5 how to make the picot you say "make 2 single crochets in the chain 3 space, make another single crochet and chain 3...(and so on)" so it seems as though you are saying to make 3 single crochets. I rewatched you doing it over and over and I realized you only make 2 single crochets at first and then 2 more after to picot. So am I just hearing your instructions wrong or is there an error in your speaking instructions?

[@WizardofLoops]

Hello Autumn. Yes, thank you for noticing that. Pattern is 2sc, Picot, 2sc. Hope this helps!

[@tarnr5713]

I was confused too, but then I realised that for the first set of stitches she did not follow her own instructions :) For the rest of the sets she appears to do what the verbal and written instructions say .... 2sc + 1sc with picot + 2sc = 5 stitches total in each ch3 space.

[@juveriyakarimi1097]

Mam my hoop is of 20 cm and yarn is mercerized cotton yarn so how should I reduce the stitches?

[@WizardofLoops]

Hi Juveriya. This Mandala was created for a bigger hoops. You may try to fit it in 20cm hoop but then the yarn must be very thin and a hook size very tiny. Try and you will find your way!

[@juveriyakarimi1097]

@@WizardofLoops okay thank you so much for the reply I'll try ❤

Your welcome!

Could I do this on a 35.5 cm ring

[@WizardofLoops]

I think no. It is a pretty big pattern.

[@like021]

It looks amazing 🥰 is/will there be a written pattern or diagram? I would love to buy it❤

[@WizardofLoops]

Glad to hear that you like it! Unfortunately this video tutorial is the only pattern that we have. We are not selling patterns as well.

[@Kamisiamisia23]

In row 5 you make 3sc, picot, 3sc

[@Kamisiamisia23]

Not 2 sc

[@WizardofLoops]

Thank you for noticing that. Pattern is 2sc, Picot, 2sc.

[@tamaramessier6363]

Could you post a link to where we can purchase the yarn. I cant find that yarn anywhere. Thank you

[@WizardofLoops]

Hi Tamara. It depends from where do you live. Most of the yarns I use are local brands (UK). Some of them are from hobbii.co.uk/ that ships to EU as well. Or you can try www.crochet-uk.co.uk/ - big choice with the needed length. May be something here - www.lovecrafts.com/en-us/ I hope this will help!

What ply are you using please?

Hi Linda. For bigger works I prefer 3ply.

Are these yarn 4ply?????

[@WizardofLoops]

Yes they are.

[@joycel1746]

This is beautiful. I am making it but have a question. I just finished row 5 as you did and yours is laying flat but mine isn't. Do you think it will flatten out after more rows are added? I have the same amount of stitches you have. Thanks

[@WizardofLoops]

Good morning Joyce. I think that you need to crochet tighter and then it will be flat. If it doesn't solve this problem - take a half size smaller hook and try once again. Good that you have noticed this on the 5th row!

nice work but the camera is to far from work.

[@WizardofLoops]

Thank you for your feedback, we are still experimenting with some video production elements and definitely consider more close shooting of the process.
