Introduction

Crocheting mandalas can be a fun and creative activity. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of crocheting a beautiful mandala. We will be using front post double crochets to create texture and depth in the design. Each round will build upon the previous one, resulting in a stunning finished piece. So grab your hook, yarn, and let's get started!

Round 11: Adding Front Post Double Crochets

In round 11, we will be introducing front post double crochets to our mandala. These stitches will create a raised effect and add visual interest to our design. To begin, make a front post single crochet followed by a chain two, which counts as your first front post double crochet. Then, continue making front post double crochets and chaining five around the designated stitches. Repeat this pattern until the end of the round, and join with a slip stitch.

Round 12: Continuing with Front Post Double Crochets

In round 12, we will continue working with front post double crochets. Start by making a front post single crochet plus a chain two, which represents your first front post double crochet. Then, proceed with making front post double crochets and chaining five around the specified stitches. Repeat this sequence until the end of the round, and join with a slip stitch.

Round 13: Increasing the Number of Front Post Double Crochets

Round 13 is all about increasing the number of front post double crochets. Begin with a front post single crochet followed by a chain two, which will serve as your first front post double crochet. Then, make front post double crochets and chain five around the indicated stitches. Repeat this pattern until the end of the round, and join with a slip stitch.

Round 14: Increasing the Number of Front Post Double Crochets

In round 14, we will further increase the number of front post double crochets. Start by making a front post single crochet plus a chain two, representing your first front post double crochet. Then, continue making front post double crochets and chaining five around the designated stitches. Repeat this sequence until the end of the round, and join with a slip stitch.

Round 15: Increasing the Number of Front Post Double Crochets

Round 15 focuses on increasing the number of front post double crochets even more. To begin, make a front post single crochet plus a chain two, which counts as your first front post double crochet. Then, go on to make front post double crochets and chain five around the specified stitches. Repeat this pattern until the end of the round, and join with a slip stitch.

Round 16: Increasing the Number of Front Post Double Crochets

In round 16, we will increase the quantity of front post double crochets. Begin by making a front post single crochet plus a chain two, signifying your initial front post double crochet. Then, continue making front post double crochets and chaining four around the designated stitches. Repeat this sequence until the end of the round, and join with a slip stitch.

Round 17: Front Post Double Crochets and Skipping Stitches

Round 17 introduces front post double crochets and the technique of skipping stitches. Start by making a front post single crochet around the initial stitch, followed by a chain two, which counts as your first front post double crochet. Then, continue making front post double crochets and skipping stitches as specified. Repeat this pattern until the end of the round, and join with a slip stitch.
