meu mundo mandala Rounds 31 and on

 

meu mundo mandala



English Translation

Disclaimer - This is NOT my pattern. I Just love it so much I stumbled through the non english version to help figure out the chart I could not read. The YouTube video is here for Part 1 and Part 2 Here (in Dutch?) and her pattern chart is on this site. If the site is no longer working, as may be the case, here is the full pattern chart image.



Materials:

3 mm crochet hook

200g cotton twirl 

(I used Lana Grossa Shades of Cotton Linen - Colour Natur/Hellblau/Hellgrau/Grau (704))

or a Scheepies whirl also works great.

stich markers
scissors


Be patient, go slow. Take a good look at the chart and try to understand how the pattern goes. Now if you are like me reading the chart is like a foreign language and left you confused. That's when I headed over to the video on YouTube. Starting, stopping, forward, backward, I eventually figured it out but her video did not show all the little steps to take so I started writing this out.  It's likely not perfect, I'm new to this so forgive me, but it's a great tool to help follow the chart and video to make your own meu mundo mandala.

Here's a close up of rounds 31 - 41 with and without row indicators. When I had trouble following the rows I printed these images and used a highlighter to follow where I should be going.




Special Stiches

Pico - This is a stich that looks like a P. To Pico you chain 3 and then SLST CH1 and CH3 together.

2-3-2 - This is a combination of 2 DC, CH3, 2 DC into the same space, usually a CH3 space from a previous row.

How to Read

This post is written in US crochet terms with the following shorthand:
SC - single crochet
DC - double crochet
CH SP - chain space
CH - chain
SLST - slip stich

Advice

Check each repeat BEFORE you start another.  I had to frog this SO many time because of missed stiches or counting incorrectly.  Before each repeat check your work!  You will thank yourself later.

The video shows working into the CH stiches but I found doing that led to a looser messier look so I chose to work into the CH spaces.  I only work into completed stiches.

Let's continue on!

Rounds 42 and Beyond

Now its up to you how big you want to make this.  By round 40 my project was 32" in diameter and plenty large enough to hang on the wall.  Additional rounds are:
SLST 3 (gets you to the center of the CH SP from the precious round) mark this as your starting point, *CH7, SC into the CH SP from the previous round*.  Repeat * to * around and SL ST into the CH you marked at the start.
Now you have the whole Mandala!
