10 FREE Mandala cross stitch patterns

Looking for some easy Mandala patterns for cross stitch charts?

I’ve been working on my pattern design this last week and I’ve created ten, modern, simple, free mandala cross stitch patterns based on circles for you to embroider.

Each pattern comes as its own printable pdf chart which is easy to read and uses simple symbols.

It also has a DMC floss list and includes both the grid and pattern dimensions.

Print it out or use it on your tablet and the pattern keeper app.

They are black work style mandala charts, you could keep them this way or use your floss stash to fill in the gaps and make them truly unique.

You could also try stitching them with variegated or metallic floss for a contemporary look.

Which pattern will you pick?

Mandalas patterns have been around for centuries and they are great at focusing the mind for meditation.

I find cross stitch in itself a great hobby for mindfulness and relaxation. 

All the designs are made up of full count stitches, so no half stitches or fractionals to content with.

Making them perfect for beginners.

The designs are intended to be stitched on 14 count aida, if you wish to alter the pattern size consider stitching on a different thread count fabric.

Which one of the 10 free mandala cross stitch patterns will you stitch first?
