Hoop mandalas are a little bit different than regular doilies, and it’s because the ring gives them beautiful even shape. Thanks to that feature, they can be much more lacy, which makes them similar to dream catchers. You can add pom poms or fringe at the bottom, so it’s even more stunning! These works of art look best when showcased on the wall. Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.

Mandala Miraflore
This design is quite different from your regular hoop mandala, so be sure to inspect it closely! As you can see in the photos, openwork assumes the shape of a star in the center, but the edges are solid! It’s usually the other way round – the points of attachment to the hook create big holes. It’s a true work of art, so grab your hook and make one!
