Hi!
This is already part 3 of my first mini-CAL. By the end of the week you’ll have a beautiful mandala!
You can find part 1 here and part 2 here.
As said before I will publish the pattern in five different parts every other day, but if you can’t wait, or would like to have a printable PDF-version of the pattern you could buy it for the price of a cup of coffee. Big bonus here is that you’ll support me 🙂 Yay!
Please follow me on Instagram and share a photo of your work using #shangrimandala and #knotsosquare That would make me very happy!
