PLEASE NOTE: BMY Kits ONLY contain YARN, no hoop or additional items. 

Scheepjes welcomes summertime with a mindful mandala make-a-long, where participants can practise several fun crochet stitches while playing with any combination of the 113 Scheepjes Catona colour options that tickle their fancy!

Meaning ‘presented in three parts’, the word ‘Triptych’ has inspired the upcoming Scheepjes Make-A-Long, which will showcase a vibrant set of three mandalas in three unique colourways, designed by Scheepjes Blogger Esther Dijkstra. The aim of the collaboration is to excite adventurous beginners as much as the more advanced crafters in our community.

This MAL is built around the pure enjoyment of working several crochet techniques using eye-catching combinations of Scheepjes Catona yarn. It will teach newcomers a wide range of classic stitches, as well as expressive techniques that add texture. The three hooped mandala designs (small, medium and large) are based on the same pattern, with each larger size expanding on that of the previous

Pattern

The FREE pattern will be released in three separate weekly parts during the MAL via Esther’s blog. Participants wishing to show their appreciation for the designer may choose to purchase the full PDF pattern via Ravelry (approx. £2.50/€3/USD 3.20*) in English (UK + US terminology) and Dutch. *Prices are subject to variation based on local currency and tax(es).

Esther has prepared supporting blogposts, written in both English and Dutch and will include advice for participants who prefer to customise their own colour palette. Links to step-by-step video tutorials for both left- and right-handers will also be shared via the designer’s blog.
