I managed to work in most of the thread ends as I worked the front by crocheting over them. I started each round in a different place so that I could crochet over the beginning thread in one place and then the end thread of the previous row in a different place. I read about an invisible join, but was put off by Dedri Uys's warning that it needs to be absolutely correct or the mandala would be distorted.
It's so beautiful! Will a hexagon really work with a circle?
ReplyDeleteNo. I will have to learn to do a proper circle.
DeleteYour mandala is gorgeous! Such pretty colours you've chosen.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! That is so beautiful!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYour crocheted Mandala cushion is beautiful. I love the colors and stitches you are using.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the colors you've chosen!
ReplyDeleteLovely front & the hexagon is perfect ! Couldn't you simply add one final round when the hexagon is complete, using a gradation of stitches - from slip stitch to sc, dc, tr, etc, and back to ss, for all 6 sides ? No need to unravel what you've crocheted so far, and you have the front for width reference.
ReplyDeletePossibly, but for a competition I think I had better try to achieve a better circle.
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow! The front is just gorgeous!
