Crocheted Mandalas and Little Crochet Gifts

Crocheted Mandalas by Lynne Rowe has 20 designs we can follow to make mandalas or circle shape designs that can be used as coasters, table mats, or stitched together to make beautiful bedspreads, table runners, scarves, bags, art and more. I like that crocheting mandalas are portable and can be done easily on-the-go. 

I like that the repetitive nature of the projects in this book, as it gives a sense of soothing calmness. It would have been better if this book included how we can continue the designs to make the circle patterns larger or a section on how to attach the pieces to make larger projects. The book also misses instructions on how we can make the magic ring that the designs require. I found an easy method to make the magic or adjustable ring in the 100 Little Crochet Gifts To Make book.

I like that the designs on the Crocheted Mandalas book inspires us to use left over yarn from other projects. This book would be useful for anyone that wants to crotchet unique circle designs. 

I have been enjoying crocheting a few projects from the 100 Little Crochet Gifts To Make book, which has a wide variety of themes from beautiful crocheted flowers, beanie hats, lovely hearts and stylish purses from best-selling Search Press authors. The techniques used in this book are simple enough for experienced beginners to master, and easy for more seasoned crocheters. The special stitches used in this book are explained in detail, and yarns are described in generic terms, so that readers can use what is available to them to make beautiful gifts for family and friends.
