Tulip Mandala
Thank you for crocheting my design, I hope you have fun along the way.
For me, it is important to enjoy every round and that it is fun to crochet.
Crochet should be a way to relax, a form of meditation

Puff= do the following 4 times - yarn over, insert the hook in the specified stitch.
You now have 9 loops in total on the hook. Pick up yarn and pull through all loops, lock puff with 1
ch.
Picot - ch3, 1 sl st in the first ch.
*_* = Repeat the whole round
(_) = Total number of stitches for finished round
Each round ends with sl st in the 1st st on round.
Note that the pattern is written for one color, but of course you can vary your colors.
Then think about which stitch you should start the round.
At each round I have noted the color if you choose to make a multicolored mandala.
I have not blocked my mandalas, I used my iron and pressed them.
