Simple Mandala Appliqué Crochet Pattern

Mandalas are really fun crochet projects and can be used for so many things. You could use them as coaster, wall hangings, rugs or embellishments.

I recently bought a 5 color pack of yarn from LoveCrafts and wanted to make something nice & colorful that wouldn’t take up too much of my time. I started playing with the yarn and all of a sudden, a cute little mandala emerged!

It measures 10 cm in diameter, so is a really quick project to whip up. It can be made smaller or larger with a different hook size.
