This book celebrates the sheer fun of making and showcases Haafner Linssen’s modern colour schemes and patterns. With full patterns and inspiring photos, a review of crochet techniques that helps you create a perfect circle, a discussion of materials, colours, finishing techniques, and lots of project ideas, this book is a guarantee for many hours of happy mandala-making.

She has contributed to Mollie Makes and her first book, Mandalas to Crochet (2016), is an international success. Haafner lives in a cute old house, somewhere between Amsterdam and the North Sea.
