Day 7 Hula Hoop Crocheted Mandala

Completed July 2026

This crochet hula hoop mandala project marks day seven of adapting Helen Shrimpton’s Sacred Space Blanket design using sturdy Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton yarn.

It officially outgrew my usual photo spots today, so I had to lay it out flat on the hardwood floor just to get the shot. I’ve been making up the color choices row by row as I go, which usually leaves me with at least a few sections I regret. Not this time, though—I am absolutely loving how these light blue and navy rounds are turning out.
