GAUGE:

1 Granny Square = about 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 in. (16.5 x 16.5 cm).

BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

1. Scarf is made from 16 Granny Squares sewn together.
2. Each Granny Square is made with 6 different colors. Follow Color Sequences, changing colors every rnd. Work over yarn ends as you go, or if you prefer, weave them in at the end.
3. Border is crocheted around the outside edge of completed Scarf.

Mandala

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thangka painting of Vajradhatu Mandala

Maṇḍala (मण्डल) is a Sanskrit word meaning "circle." In the Buddhist and Hindureligious traditions their sacred art often takes a mandala form. The basic form of most Hindu and Buddhist mandalas is a square with four gates containing a circle with a center point. Each gate is in the shape of a T.^[1][2] Mandalas often exhibit radial balance.^[3]

These mandalas, concentric diagrams, have spiritual and ritual significance in bothBuddhism and Hinduism.^[4][5] The term is of Hindu origin and appears in the Rig Vedaas the name of the sections of the work, but is also used in other Indian religions, particularly Buddhism. In the Tibetan branch of Vajrayana Buddhism, mandalas have been developed into sandpainting. They are also a key part of anuttarayoga tantrameditation practices.

In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of aspirants and adepts, as a spiritual teaching tool, for establishing a sacred space, and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. According to the psychologistDavid Fontana, its symbolic nature can help one "to access progressively deeper levels of the unconscious, ultimately assisting the meditator to experience a mystical sense of oneness with the ultimate unity from which the cosmos in all its manifold forms arises."^[6] The psychoanalyst Carl Jung saw the mandala as "a representation of the unconscious self,"^{[citation needed]} and believed his paintings of mandalas enabled him to identify emotional disorders and work towards wholenessin personality.^[7]

In common use, mandala has become a generic term for any plan, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically, amicrocosm of the Universe from the human perspective.^[
