If you subscribe to Simply Crochet in Issue 105 you will find my latest design, the Zen Mandala! It is a meditative pattern with clusters, mesh lace and a bit of surface crochet! This design is also quick to make for it to make the issue I had to get is done and sent off asap! So, I received the yarn for this design on a Thursday afternoon and started on it right away. By Friday, I was more than half way finished.

By Saturday it was on my blocking boards and shipped out to the magazine Tuesday as Monday was a holiday here.

My favorite part is the center, I love how mesmerizing the rounds of mesh lace appear like a flower petals unfolding. The yarn is Rico Ricorumi DK in Powder, Peach and Blush. This yarn is a dream to work with it is so soft and beautiful!
