About this Pattern
The colours of this yarn reminded Isabella of the variety of candies, chocolates, and gummies in the bulk bins at her local candy shops in New York. Just as it is hard to choose which candies to purchase, it was hard to choose which colours of yarn to use in these mandalas!

If you can’t get these amazing craft rings from Amazon, the pattern could also be worked onto the inside of embroidery hoops, or you could create flat mandalas. Make a generous chain between each point on the final round, make another round to create a border and then stretch, pin, and block to create its shape.
