November 28, 2016 by Shellie Wilson

Wow, how amazing does this blanket look? If someone gifted me this I would bow down with honour. The work and the colors in this Crochet piece are amazing and you can make your very own thanks to Lion Brand who have provided you with the full free pattern.

Mandala Blanket Crochet Pattern.

A mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, specifically in Vajrayana Buddhism, representing the universe. However, it has become a generic term for any round repeating diagram. The mandala is widely known as a meditative symbol that reveals a connectedness to nature and your soul. Have you ever tried drawing one? they really are calming and peaceful not only to look at but in making too. It promotes mindfulness, probably by its repetitive pattern. We all know we need more mindfulness in this busy crazy world. The word mandala is a Sanskrit term that means “circle”.  Looking for more Manadala crochet patterns? Check these out.

Need Crochet supplies and Yarn? We highly recommend Lionbrand for quality yarn and ongoing yarn sales and discounts. Make sure to check out their free crochet patterns too.

Free Purple Witch Hat Keychain Crochet Pattern – Cute Halloween Bag Charm

If you love those tiny crochet projects that use hardly any yarn but still look ridiculously cute, this little witch hat is worth adding to your Halloween list.

The Free Purple Witch Hat Keychain Crochet Pattern on CraftBits is worked from the top down in one main piece, so there is very little sewing together at the end. You start with the pointed purple hat, add a black band, work the brim, then finish it off with a tiny gold buckle and that classic crooked witch-hat shape.

It is exactly the sort of project I like for leftover yarn. You only need small amounts of purple, black and gold, which means those odd little yarn balls we all refuse to throw away finally have a purpose.

The finished hat can be attached to a keyring or bag clip, but you could also use it as a Halloween tree ornament, zipper charm, gift topper or even string several together to make a spooky little garland.

I also love how easy it would be to change the colours. Try orange and black, green and purple, or cream and dusty pink for a softer cottage-witch look.

If you are in a Halloween crochet mood, you might also like our roundup of Free Halloween Crochet Patterns You Can Make in a Day or these 15 Spider Web Crochet Patterns for Halloween.

This is a quick, beginner-friendly Halloween crochet project that would be especially cute for party favours, market stalls or little handmade gifts.
