If you are new to Lion Brand Mandala yarn and would like to learn a bit more about this yarn, check out my complete Lion Brand Mandala yarn review!
Due to the popularity of the original Mandala yarn, Lion Brand has added several different yarns to this lineup and I am including several patterns from these newer yarns. Most of these yarns will be interchangeable in these patterns. However, keep in mind that a couple are a different weight than the original DK #3 Lion Brand Mandala.
If you are looking for some spring crochet inspiration, I have some lovely crochet patterns perfect for spring. So many light and lacy options with spring color and warmth for chilly spring evenings.
