I was posting up my new crochet WIP of a mandala a week ago on Instagram...
when few people start asking if I have the pattern,
usually I would answer I made it as I go and I couldn't write a pattern...
then it hit me?
Why would'nt I learn to do it?
At least I can learn to be consistent and can follow pattern correctly
so, here I am on saturday noon... trying to write pattern on my own term hehe
but coz I still dont know how to write pattern for bubble stitches like my green/blue mandala,
so I decide to write the pattern while I'm doing it
I'm using hook size J/6mm
with heavy worsted yarn ( berkshire bulky - www.yarn.com)
To Begin : ch 4 and join to form a ring.
ROW 1:
Ch 3, then work 11 Tr into the ring. Join with slip stitch in the first Tr
Total 12 Tr stitches
