A mandala is a geometric design - usually a circle - with repeating colors and shapes. In some spiritual traditions, mandalas are used as a meditation tool. In crochet, a mandala is a circular crochet design with rounds of repeating crochet stitches. Crochet mandalas are usually very colorful and textural, and are often used as home decor or wall art. Crochet mandalas are similar to crochet doilies; sometimes, the words are used interchangeably. The main difference, however, between crocheted doilies and mandalas is that mandalas are often a bit more solid, while doilies are more delicate, intricate, and lacy.
