Starflower Mandala

Late Friday night (so late it was in fact already Saturday!) my hands were too cramped to crochet anymore.   I  was sitting at my desk doodling with my colour pencils and koki pens (please do not laugh - it WAS really late!).

I had a lightbulb moment - make the doodle into a crochet motif!   Grabbed a hook and a heap of yarn scraps and hooked up a very "rough" draft

Yesterday morning, using my Stylecraft Special DK and a 3.50mm hook I started working on an improved version of the idea

Lots and lots of stitches and a couple of movies later and it was done!

17 Rows of colourful fun crochet!

Measuring 33cm in diameter!

The STARFLOWER MANDALA!

I scribbled the pattern as I went along - but it needs a LOT of tidying up.    Making a second mandala so that I can sort out the pattern and make a tutorial to share.
