Free Crochet Mandala Pattern
This Free Crochet Mandala Pattern takes the classic circular mandala, and adds a little something extra! So you end up with a circular mandala shape, and an organic rectangle wall hanging with some nice boho fringe! While the results are distinct, this crochet mandala wall hanging is worked in the round. Working a rectangular shape in the round creates a softer, more organic feel. This stunning pattern was designed for intermediate crocheters who have masted the basic stitches, and offer a fun way to practice and refine your skills.

What Is the Calliope Stitch Anyway?
It all began with an idea for a boho-inspired handbag. I wanted to design something that captured the playful charm of granny squares and full of color possibilities, but with my own unique twist. That’s how the Calliope wheel was born!
The first pattern to feature this design (and the one that gave it its name) was the Calliope Crossbody Boho Bag. This vibrant summer accessory quickly became a favorite. One of the things I loved most about it was the use of linked stitches, which gave the bag enough structure that it didn’t even need a liner. Plus, it’s generously sized and perfect as a day bag or even a stylish on-the-go project bag!
I knew I wasn’t done with the Calliope motif just yet. I had more ideas just waiting to burst forth, and soon new designs featuring the colorful Calliope wheel followed. The next pattern was my Calliope Wash Cloths, which included both a round and square version, and allowed me to bring that modified granny style full circle (and square)!
Next up was the Calliope Coasters. This free pattern that blends elements of both the original and the wash cloth designs. But around here, we like to keep things fun and a little unexpected. So when one of my testers said the coasters reminded her of a set that could be tucked inside a “plant pot” because of the cute picot edging, I couldn’t resist. I added a matching plant pot to the pattern so you’d have the most adorable little storage spot when the coasters aren’t in use!
Most recently came the biggest spin yet! The Calliope became the beautiful and colorful shell of a turtle! The Calliope No-Sew Turtle Amigurumi was an instant hit! All the fun of an amigurumi pattern, none of the sewing! The coolest part is that the turtle’s body can be removed from the Calliope Shell, allowing you to create and change out the shells, and allowing the pattern to be both realistic, and no-sew! I do love a fun challenge like this one – and you’ll love the detailed instructions and many photo tutorials to guide you through this adorable pattern!
There are 2 more Calliope Patterns in the design stages, one of which will be released later this summer. The other may take a little longer, but it’s worth it! So stay tuned for those equally fun and colorful patterns coming soon!
And best of all? Each one of the Calliope Wheel Patterns make GREAT Scrapbusters!! Woo hoo! 💜🧶

FO and weave in ends. Continue with Finishing.
Finishing Calliope Crochet Mandala Wall Hanging:
ADDING THE FRINGE:
Step 1: Cut 32 pieces of Color 3 yarn, about 18 inches long.
Step 2: Insert hook upward through any st of bottom of Round 13, place center of a piece of yarn over the hook and pull it down creating a loop. Pull both ends of the yarn through the loop and tug gently at the ends to tighten.
Step 3: Repeat Step 2 for each of the 31 remaining sts on the bottom of Round 13. I placed 5 pieces of fringe on each “triangle” and the remaining 2 on the outer edges.
Step 4: Trim ends evenly. An easy way to do this is to lay the piece down on a table, with the fringe laid flat and neat. Place a piece (or 2) of masking tape across the fringe where you plan to cut. You can leave all pieces the same length, or use 2 pieces of tape to create a triangular shape for visual interest, which is my personal favorite.
ADDING THE STICK/DOWEL AND HANGER:
Step 1: Cut a length of yarn about 6 – 8 feet long depending on the thickness of your stick. With a tapestry needle, bring the yarn through the upper right corner stitch from the back. Place the stick along the top of the hanging. Stitch over the top of the stick and through the 3rd from right stitch, from back to front, then repeat in the same stitch.
Step 2: Continue whip stitching around the stick along the top of the hanging. Stitch into every 2nd or 3rd stitch, working from back to front. I placed a stitch near the peak and near the valley of my triangles. Keep your stitches loose enough to leave a 1-2” gap between the stick and the top of the hanging so the triangle edging is visible. Add an extra stitch at the end for extra security.
Step 3: Cut an additional length of yarn or string 2 – 4 feet long and tie to each end of the stick for hanging. An easy way to do this is create a slip knot on each end and adjust until you get the hanging length you like. Then conceal ends as desired – I like to tie the ends from the stitching and hanger together first, then weave in so they stay out of sight. Hang up your work!
