Squared UP Seaside Mandala

You know what? 

I've squared up Seaside mandala!

This is my summer highlight mandala because it was born on my long walk by the seaside .. full of joy and life :) and I am so happy I was able to do it ... I've been dreaming of that 24+ km walk by the seaside for past few years and I hope I will get the chance to do that again next year :)

& you can get Seaside Mandala on etsy and ravelry!

Happy Granny square day 2020 !!!

& just because I'm obsessed with duality lately I am presenting you with Yin Yang granny square! :)

You can also get it in pdf form on ravelry and etsy ;)

And as granny square day is one of my favourite holidays (thank god it is on actual holiday this year so I am not lying that much :D) I am sharing my latest square on blog for you all to enjoy!

Abbreviations used (US terms):
ch – chain
sc – single crochet
hdc – half double crochet
dc – double crochet
htr – half treble crochet (yarn over 2 times, pull yarn through 3 loops at the end of the stitch)
tr – treble crochet
dtr – double treble crochet

sl st – slip stitch
ch sp – chain space
st(s) – stitch(es)
bl – back loop

Instruction repeats:
[ ... ] - used for small repeats;
* ... * - used for large repeats.

Col – color
A – dark
B – light
C – background

While making YinYang sign we will repeat each of 2 rounds and 3 rows in both colours!
For Yin part start with col B for first round and col A for the rest.
For Yang part start with col A for first round and col B for the rest.

Stitches that attach Yin to Yang (and vice versa) are always worked in back loops.
3 stitches from both circles are joined in the middle on round 2 and additional 10 stitches from one circle are joined with those 3 rows from other side of YinYang.

I advise you to skim through all of the instructions before you start to crochet just so you know what to expect ;)
