COLORING YOUR MANDALA

You can make your mandala using anywhere from two colors to up to 13 colors!

To help you choose your colors, I’ve created a coloring diagram that you can download and fill in with either colored pencils or a digital coloring app/software. Once you’ve chosen your color palette, use the color-coding page to assign a letter code to each shade. Then, input your color codes into the designated column in the written instructions table.

For clarity, be sure to use different ink colors for rows that involve multiple colors. For example, if the letter code is written in red, all stitches marked with that color should be worked using the corresponding yarn color.

Here’s an example of color codes and instructions to help you identify where color changes should be made.

COLOR SUGGESTIONS

In order to help you choose colors, I’ve created several colorways using sport weight yarn TWISTER SOLID from Hobbii.com. Twister solid yarn is on 50% sale until February 16, so order now and receive it before the beginning of the CAL. To make it easy to select colors, I’ve added color numbers under the colorways, simply click on them to add yarn to your cart. Please note that you need to order 2 cakes of yarn color A.

Please leave a comment and let me know which colorway you prefer!
