Ready to start working on your Legacy Mandala pattern? Here we go!
Below is the pattern using UK terminology. You will be able to get your hands on the US version via a pdf from my Ravelry store or LoveCrafts. I’ll work on an NL translation too, but this will take time.
GET THE YARN
You’ll need two skeins of Scheepjes Legacy No. 6 in off-white (ecru) and a wire hoop. I found my 90cm hoop at Lampenkapmaterialen.com here in Almere, but there are places that you can find them everywhere; have a look to see what’s local.
For the yarn, Scheepjes has a full list of stockists on their website, you can search for one close to you.
In Europe head to Caro’s Atelier*
In the UK Black Sheep Wools*

Optional to create a loop to hang the legacy mandala: ch7, ss to next, tie off.
Chart
Please note, the chart shows only a segment of the full mandala and rounds 15, 17, 25, 27 and 29 slip stitch backwards on the chart. This is to keep the start and finish of the rounds in roughly the same place on the chart. You can ss forward, as normal.
Also note, the chart shows rounds 1-30, when the written pattern has a repeat of rounds 15-24. Please also repeat rounds 15-24 when working from the chart (unless making a smaller mandala).
The chart key has both UK and US terms (dc/sc)
