The second mandala designed at a Knitaway holiday in Buxton, is named after Mary Queen of Scots who visited Buxton no less than 11 times whilst in her 19 years of captivity. The finished size is approx 22.5cm (9”) across.

It uses 10 colours of yarn, but could use fewer if you like. Mandalas are great stash busters, using only small quantities of yarn for each round, so you can experiment with all your leftovers. If you use a different weight of yarn please select an appropriately sized hook.
