Crochet your partner a mandala -- this is a good way to use up some colorful scraps!

What is a mandala? A mandala is geometric figure representing the universe in Hindu and Buddhist symbolism. In common use, mandala has become a generic term for any diagram, chart or geometric pattern in a circle.

Your crocheted mandalas can be used as dishcloths, trivets, doilies, etc...

Swap Requirements:

Mandalas must be at least 6 inches in diameter, and include at least 3 different colors.

Please include a note with your swap, telling your partner a little bit about the mandala you made for them.

Checking your partner's profile for color ideas is nice, but not required -- this is sender's choice -- use up the scraps you have!

Established swappers only, please. Profiles will be screened before assigning partners.
