Day 5 Hula Hoop Crocheted Mandala

Completed July 2026

This crochet hula hoop mandala project marks day five of adapting Helen Shrimpton’s Sacred Space Blanket design using sturdy Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton yarn. Reaching day five displays a distinct, textured six-sided hexagon shape, using an intricate combination of blues, grays, and creams. Diving into a detailed mandala for the first time has been an incredibly grounding experience, reminding me exactly why I love complex stitches and the quiet focus of steady counting.
