Notes:
The colors used for the Small Spring Mandala Crochet Pattern are: Color A: Snow, Color B: Meadow, Color C: Dragonfruit
Sl st does not count as a stitch and we do not work into it.
Pattern is written with a ch 2 to begin. I prefer to use a double magic ring to begin, as it is more secure. Either is acceptable for this pattern.
TIP: If you are using a ch 2 to begin, leave about a 4-inch yarn tail at the beginning. You will use this yarn tail to close the hole that will be there from using this method to start.
Beginning in R4, the pattern does not have a turning chain for each round because I usually start each new round with a standing st. If you prefer a sl st join and a turning chain, feel free to substitute.
