[@SandyCastle.Crafts]

Hi, Thankyou for this pattern 😊 could you provide a link to where you buy your hoops from please. I’m in UK & I’m having trouble finding one ❤

[@WizardofLoops]

Thank you Sandy! I am buying hoops on Amazon mostly. Just type - Large Floral Wreath Hoops, Silver Metal Rings for Making Wedding Wreath Decor and Wall Hanging Crafts. Hope you will find what you are searching for!

[@betsypetersen1437]

This is beautiful! How many meters of length do i need for this project?

[@WizardofLoops]

Thank you! Please check the description - all info under the video.

[@rasicrystal7912]

Lovely tutorial!! May i ask you what is the diameter of the doily pls? I have 13" loop will this doily, if i make one fit into the loop?? Please let me know

[@WizardofLoops]

Thank you! I was crocheting this mandala with 1.75mm crochet hook and ended up in 40cm/16" hoop.

[@marihreregal]

So beautiful. Where can I buy the loops?. Thanks

[@WizardofLoops]

Thank you! It depends where are you from. I am from UK and usually order from Amazon or Etsy. Hope this helps.

[@Divprayog]

Beautiful mandala. Is there any way to make it smaller to fit in 12inch hoop. Thanks

[@WizardofLoops]

Thank you! Yes - take thinner yarn and smaller crochet hook.

[@krystled7048]

i'm making this now but is it normal for it to ruflle?

[@WizardofLoops]

Hi Krystle. Yae, it is OK.

[@elsapetrescu2857]

This is gorgeous and a great tutorial. My very first attempt at a crochet mandala. Is it supposed to curling?

[@WizardofLoops]

Yes, it can curl a little bit but after blocking on a hoop all will be fine.

[@elsapetrescu2857]

Thank you. I realized after starting it several times that I was missing the two EFPDC separating the petals, so I had 15 petals with just the beginning two EFPDC on each round. It was curling like crazy 😂 all good now. Thank you for the wonderful tutorials.

[@WizardofLoops]

Glad you found it early! That's why I recommend to check each round before continuing =)

[@rosedrouse8611]

What row do you change color

[@WizardofLoops]

Hello Rose. It is up to you. I had a gradient yarn cake.

[@AmbyrJean]

What size hook are you using??

[@WizardofLoops]

Materials required: - 50-60gr (or more) of 4ply, 100% cotton yarn or 50% cotton / 50% acrylic yarn - 1.75mm hook - 40cm/16″ hoop

[@kanishabobbitt5203]

What kind of yarn are u using?

[@WizardofLoops]

Hello Kanisha. Materials required: - 50-60gr (or more) of 4ply, 100% cotton yarn or 50% cotton / 50% acrylic yarn (Crochet UK) - 1.75mm hook - 40cm/16″ hoop

[@antoniacolombara3820]

Me encanta la carpeta porque no en castellano?

[@catalinaaravena1858]

What is the size if the loop ?

[@WizardofLoops]

Hi Catalina. 40cm

[@milagrosrusso5838]

Tradicion y cuánto mide

[@WizardofLoops]

I am using yarn from Crochet UK - www.crochet-uk.co.uk/ Final size is 40cm.

[@Toni-84-1]

Do you use the whole yarn cake? I have some 600m cakes but not sure if that will be enough to complete?

[@WizardofLoops]

Hi, this all depends from your type of crocheting. If you will use a 1.75mm crochet hook, you will need around 200-250m (50-60gr of 4ply, 100% cotton yarn or 50% cotton / 50% acrylic yarn). If you will use a bigger hook - you will need more yarn.

[@Toni-84-1]

Thank you. Is it normal for it to be really ruffled up and not flat? I’m on round 8 ❤

[@WizardofLoops]

You can always compare with the final look that I present in the end of each round. Does it look the same?

[@Toni-84-1]

@@WizardofLoops no 😭 yours is flat mine is not

[@WizardofLoops]

Ok, so it is not so bad, as you are only on R8. You can frog all of it and start over just try to make your crochet a little bit tighter.

[@simonegerhard5730]

Welche Ring Größe ist das?

[@WizardofLoops]

Hoop 40cm/16” or bigger if your crochet is loose or you will use a bigger hook.
