We are now in the third week of my Mix and Match Mandala CAL, and in this part I release the first large mandala. With Large Mandala I you can extend any of the possible 9 medium sized mandalas to a large, 40cm mandala.
In this post I release the video tutorial showing how to make Large Mandala I. The video is available in English and Dutch, left and right handed. You can get your copy of the written pattern and charts by grabbing Mix and Match Mandalas in my webshop or follow along with the video tutorials on my YouTube Channel for free.

To make Large Mandala I, I first started with a making a small mandala followed by a medium mandala. It doesn’t matter which combination of small and medium mandalas you take, I chose to use Small Mandala I and Medium Mandala I.
Here are the colors I used for Small Mandala I.ROUND COLOR Round 1 Color A – 130 Old Lace Round 2 Color G – 114 Shocking Pink Round 3 Color G – 114 Shocking Pink Round 4 Color D – 282 Ultraviolet Round 5 Color A – 130 Old Lace Round 6 Color A – 130 Old Lace Round 7 Color C – 226 Light Orchid Round 8 Color C – 226 Light Orchid Round 9 Color I – 146 Vivid Blue
At the end of Round 9, I continue with the pattern for Medium Mandala I and add the following colors for each round. I purposefully used the same color for the last round of the small mandala and the first round of the medium mandala because then the color pattern flows better.
| ROUND | COLOR |
|---|---|
| Round 1 | Color I – 146 Vivid Blue |
| Round 2 | Color F – 208 Yellow Gold |
| Round 3 | Color D – 282 Ultraviolet |
| Round 4 | Color G – 114 Shocking Pink |
| Round 5 | Color G – 114 Shocking Pink |
| Round 6 | Color B – 246 Icy Pink |
Similar to when I completed the small mandala, now that I have completed the medium sized mandala, I continue with the pattern for Large Mandala I. Here are the colors I used for Large Mandala I.ROUND COLOR Round 1 Color D – 282 Ultraviolet Round 2 Color A – 130 Old Lace Round 3 Color B – 246 Icy Pink Round 4 Color C – 226 Light Orchid Round 5 Color D – 282 Ultraviolet Round 6 Color D – 282 Ultraviolet Round 7 Color H – 397 Cyan Round 8 Color H – 397 Cyan Round 9 Color A – 130 Old Lace
I completed Large Mandala I by attaching it to a 40cm ring. I used the same color as the last round of the mandala to attach it to the ring, i.e. Color A – 130 Old Lace.

Gauge
Gauge is really important because the mandalas need to fit in the ring. Large Mandala I tends to be a bit smaller than the other two Large Mandala patterns. Change the rounds in your small and medium mandalas as needed to get the right size before starting with Large Mandala I.
