Happy Spring Mandala

The long awaited Happy Spring Mandala is here!

When I think of mandalas, I always love the ones with the star or flower motif centres. My goal was to create a design which is intricate enough but beautifully textured at the same time.
The softness of the yarn and the gorgeous pastel shades were so inspiring, immediately reminded me of spring and I loved every second working on it.

Special thanks to my testers: Éva Nagyné Lakhézi and Ginny Kamph-White

Happy crocheting!
