This pretty crochet mandala is by Kym in South Australia. It is a spoke crochet mandala that is made using rainbow colors. What I really love is that many of the other people who have done a rainbow version of this pattern used an edging of blue, which looks like sky; and while that’s super pretty, I really, really love the variation here with the bright bold orange!

Today’s crochet contribution to the Mandalas for Marinke project comes to us from Kathryn in Kent, UK. This was the first crochet mandala she ever made, which has been true for a number of the people contributing to the project. I love this because it means that Wink continues to encourage people to try new things in the craft even though she’s no longer with us.
These two pretty crochet mandalas come to us from Christina here in California. I love the way the white interspersed between the variegated pastels really adds lightness to the larger of the two mandalas. On the smaller one I love the little bit of sparkle along with the surface crochet detail.
Natasha shares, “I have been struggling with my mental health recently, but having the #mandalasformarinke project to do has helped me stay focused and given me something to look forward to doing. There’s something quite soothing about the repetition of creating a mandala and how rewarding it can be to see it come together.”
I can’t believe how many months of daily posts I’ve been able to do using the beautiful, inspiring, amazing crochet Mandalas for Marinke that you’ve all sent in for this special project. It continued throughout February and there are still several more months of daily posts left to go. Here’s the roundup of those posted this month.
These crochet mandalas for the Marinke project are bright and exciting and so fun to look at it! They come to us from Wee Witchy Steph of the Show and Tell blog who included a beautiful drawing with the message, “a light may go out of this world but the memory of it will burn brightly and beautifully forever”.
I love the thick sparkling white yarn that makes up the edging and spokes on this crochet mandala by Arienne, who is “a Florida mom of 2 amazing young ladies” that says, “I’ve been a crazy crocheter for over 20 years!”
This crochet mandala draws me in with the subtle color changes on the edges and the bolder color changes in the center. It’s a version of the 12 round crochet mandala pattern by Wink that’s been crocheted by Leigh.
Today for Mandalas for Marinke we’ve got two crochet mandalas made by Holly, who can be found on Instagram @yarngirl2012. One is made using a Wink crochet pattern and the other is not; they have some similarities and complement each other so well.
