Here is my pattern for Wink2 Tribute.  It is a mandala I designed, using Marinke's design elements into my own original design.  I made it to be part of Kathryn Vercillo's Mandalas for Marinke Project to honor Marinke's life and to raise awareness about depression.  See: http://www.crochetconcupiscence.com/2015/06/mandalasformarinke-crochet-project-in-memory-of-wink-from-a-creative-being/ for more details.  I am offering this free pattern especially for those of you who may like to use it for Kathryn's project.  Feel free to contact e if you have any difficulties with it.

Crochet Hook: I used a U.S G-6/4mm because I like tight work.  However, the yarn I used recommended a 5mm (U.S. 8) and it might be easier to use a larger hook than the one I used.  This should not matter for the Mandalas for Marinke Project since a mandala size was not specified.

Yarn: I used Paris Drops, a loosely plied 100% cotton that was Wink’s favorite yarn.

                Colors Used:

                   Color A = strong yellow #14 (for center of center flower and sun rays)

                   Color B = vanilla (light yellow) #35 (for cluster-petals of center flower)

                   Color C = opal green #11 (for stems and leaves)

                   Color D = white #16 (for fence)

                   Color E = hot pink #06 (for blossom clusters)

                   Color F = dark turquoise #10 (for sky edging)

                   Color G = red #12 (for heart)

Sewing thread in color G, Darning needle, Sewing needle, and Scissors

Rnd 1:  Using color A, ch 2, 8 dc in 1^st ch, sl st in 1^st dc; finish off.

Rnd 2:  Using color B, (dc 4, sl st in back of 1^st dc, [cluster made], ch 3) around, sl st in top of 1^st cluster; finish off (8 clusters).

Rnd 3:  Using color C, (sc 4 in ch-3 sp {between clusters}) around, sl st in 1^st sc; finish off (32 sc’s).

Rnd 4: Using color D, attach yarn above one cluster, (sc 2, long sc into space below 3^rd-Rnd {between next two clusters}, sc in next2 sts) around, sl st in 1^st sc; finish off (40 sc’s).

Rnd 5:  Using color C, working in back: (trc in 3^rd-Rnd before a cluster, ch 2, trc after the cluster, ch 5) around, sl st in 1^st trc; finish off (16 trc’s).

Rnd 6: Using color E, (4 dc in ch-2-sp, sl st in back of 1^st dc [cluster made], ch 8) around, sl st in top of 1^st cluster; finish off (8 clusters).

Rnd 7:  Using color D, (sc 5 in ch-8-sp;  ch 2, sl st in 1^st ch [picot made];  dtrc in 4^th-Rnd-long-sc [spoke made], sc 5 in same ch-8-sp) around, sl st in 1^st sc; finish off (8 spokes topped with picots).

Rnd 8:  Using color A, working in back loops only: dc on one side of a picot, (ch, dc on the other side of picot, ch, sk 1, dc, ch, sk 1, dc over closest side of cluster, ch, dc, ch, sk 1, dc, ch, sk1,dc on closest side of picot) around, sl st in 1^st dc; finish off (48 dc’s).

Rnd 9:  Using color F,  starting between 2-dcs-above-spoke (dc 2 in next ch-1-sp, dc 3 in next ch-1-sp) around, sl st in 1^st dc; DON’T FINISH OFF (120 dc’s).

RND 10:  Continuing with color F, sc in same st as sl-st, (sk 3, dc 6 in next st, sk 2, sc {directly above 6^th-

Rnd-cluster} [1^st fan made]; sk 3, dc 6 in next st, sk 3, sc  {directly above 7^th-Rnd-picot} [2^nd fan made]) around—ending with sl st in first sc; finish off (16 fans).

HEART:  Using color G, ch 6, dc in 3^rd ch, sl st in same ch, ch 2, trc in same ch, ch 2 , sl st in 2^nd ch of foundation-ch, finish off.  Weave tail through 1^st ch of foundation-ch and up one side of heart and down the back-middle, weave other tail up other side of heart and down back-middle.
