Ripple effect mandala is the mandala I worked on all summer .. it went with me and the kids to the playgrounds and seaside .. on shorter and longer adventures with family and friends .. mine as well as their .. for me it embodies and all the happy places we managed to visit this summer :) 

 

As with all the things that take time - it is good to know what you are trying to achieve - so with first stitches I decided it should look like a giant flower. And I took it with me and worked on it whenever I could..

  

The name Ripple Effect came to me when I was looking at it half way done and thinking whether or not I should finish it (because I got stuck .. as it sometimes happens to everyone) and it hit me - even though everything repeats (and might get boring at times) it is never quite the same if we keep on going so I persevered .. & it bloomed just wonderfully .. 

what I wanted to say - yes it is possible to find the happiness in mundane tasks or to find the twist that makes those things special :) like going to the playground for 100th time that week .. :D

& make your own stylish throw!

Pattern pdf consists of 13 pages of written instructions (US crochet terms), pictures explaining harder parts and colour page for a bit of colour planning.

Blanket is made from motifs and joined as you go. Start with granny diamonds (you might be familiar with these) but for this pattern arrange them differently and then join these new blocks with ellipses and half ellipses.

I use 18 different shades of Scheepjes Color crafter. If you plan to make throw sized blanket you will probably need 2 skeins of shades you will use for last granny diamond round and for joining.

If you are already familiar with Granny Diamond pattern keep reading ;)

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 :)
