Crochet Mandala with Tulips – free pattern

Crochet Mandala with Tulips Pattern by Crochet For You.

I hope you all like my Pear Blossoms Doily I published previously! Today I’m sharing with you crochet mandala pattern. You can use this as wall decoration, and many other ways like a coaster, hot pad for your dining room and kitchen. For this pattern, I used 3 colors because I want a colorful mandala. Those pink and yellow colored rounds with 5-dc shell stitches look like tulips. Add your favorite tulip flowers’ color and make your mandala with favorite colors.
