Mandala Rug - Overlay Crochet (CH0461)

Mandala Rug made in overlay crochet. Worked in extra thick yarns (at least requiring 7mm crochet hook) to give both bulk and cushiness. Fairly large – measuring 77cm in diameter.

Short Personal Work Notes

While hugely adapted, I based some of the stitches on this overlay crochet mandala pattern. The tutorial is by LillaBjorn.

You can find her tutorials at LillaBjornCrochet store on Etsy.

The outer edge is trimmed in reverse crab crochet. This gives it a more professional edging and an interesting finish.

Also note that the reverse side is also pretty interesting. This is often a common feature with overlay crochet.
