I loved making this afghan. There’s fun variety in the stitches— so it felt interesting and had a lovely intricate look. The mandala yarn gave it such beautiful color. I do think it’s worth managing the color changes at the start. My yarns arrived with light pink as the first color. If I did it over again.... I’d make sure to start with blue. It’s also important I think for the center circle to be either one color or for color changes to happen at the end of a round. Something to consider as you begin...

THIS IS A GREAT PATTERN......................BUT THE PICTURES GIVE YOU NO IDEA WHAT THE Mandala Afghan LOOKS LIKE. THE CAT HIDES 1/2 THE AFGHAN AND THE CLOSE UP IS OUT OF FOCUS, BLURRY AND NO HELP AT ALL TO SEE THE WAY THE DESIGN FLOWS.
I DO LIKE ALL THE DIAGRAMS, AT LEAST THAT'S A BIG HELP!
