Mandala-Inspired Crochet Rug

Materials:

Chunky yarn in three colors: Dark Grey (2 skeins), Light Grey (1 skein), Pink (1 skein)
Crochet hook size 9.00 mm (M/N)
Scissors
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Gauge:

To check the gauge, make a small swatch of 10 double crochet stitches (DC) wide and 10 rows high. You should have approximately 8 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches.

Abbreviations:

CH: Chain
DC: Double Crochet
SL ST: Slip Stitch
SP: Space
REP: Repeat

Instructions:

Center Circle:

Start with Light Grey yarn. Make a magic circle.
CH 3 (counts as first DC), then work 11 DC into the circle. Pull the magic circle tight and SL ST to the top of the CH 3 to close. (12 DC total)

First Round:

CH 3, DC in the same stitch. *2 DC in next DC; REP from * around. SL ST to the top of the CH 3 to close. (24 DC total)

Second Round:

Change to Pink. CH 3, DC in the same stitch. *2 DC in next DC, 1 DC in next DC; REP from * around. SL ST to the top of the CH 3 to close. (36 DC total)

Third Round:

Switch to Dark Grey. CH 3, DC in the same stitch. *2 DC in next DC, 1 DC in next 2 DC; REP from * around. SL ST to the top of the CH 3 to close. (48 DC total)

Fourth Round:

Continue with Dark Grey. CH 3, DC in the same stitch. *2 DC in next DC, 1 DC in next 3 DC; REP from * around. SL ST to the top of the CH 3 to close. (60 DC total)

Subsequent Rounds:

Repeat the pattern, increasing the number of single DC between increases. Continue with alternating colors until you reach the desired size, approximately 48 inches in diameter.
For the final round, switch to Light Grey and work a round of single crochets (SC) all the way around, providing a neat edging.

Finishing:

Cut yarn, leaving a long tail. Use the tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends.
To give your rug the best appearance, block it by wetting it lightly and pinning it to the desired shape. Allow it to dry completely.

Optional Variations:

You can change colors at any point to create your own unique pattern. Try using different color schemes or add a simple border of SC around the edge for extra flair.

Enjoy your beautiful mandala rug, a perfect addition to any cozy corner of your home!
