Wonderful to hear so many are giving the FI Mandala a go.

FI Mandala Pattern PART 2
4mm hook, cotton yarn, USA terms.
another mistake i missed out round 14 sorry all x
ROUND 14: looks like i didn't take a picture for round 14 but same picture to explain same as round 15 picture...sorry yet again and thanks Dee for pointing it out another ooops! 
Round 14: 3sc in first 3 sts, dc post st into dc of 2 rounds down (as picture below)
 all thought that has the start of round 15 as well sorry yet again for missing out round 14
Notes to help:
not an increase round just a replacement round (96 sts)

Round 15: in the same colour as round 14, sc in every stitch. (96sts)

Round 16: sc and dc post stitch in alternate stitches (96sts)
Notes to help:
Post stitch is Not an increase round just a replacement st.
Attach yarn as picture below lining up to do a dc post st into the first of the visible sc of 3 rounds below
Round 17: In the same colour as round 16, 1dc, 1dc, 2dc in 3rd st, repeat all the way around (128 sts)
Notes to help:
This is an increase round 
Keep checking the count of 1,1,2 I did this round three times because I missed the sequence, but it was in the early hours because I couldn't sleep..lol 

Round 18: sc in every stitch ( 128 sts)
Round 19:
Notes to help:  
Attach yarn and line up the first post st with the sc of 3 rounds down as picture below
Bit of an odd round mostly a replacement post sts but every 8th post stitch you do an increase by including the sc stitch that would be behind the post st, if you don't add this increase the posts will not line up, but start to lean 
1sc, 1sc, 1tr post st, to sc of 3 rounds down, repeat but increase every 8th post st. (total of 144sts)
Round 20: dc in every st (144sts)
Round 21: sc in every sts (144sts)

Round 22: 1sc, 1sc, 1tr post sts in 3rd st, no increase just a replacement st
Note to help:
Not an increase round.
line up the post st to match the 1st sc of 3 rounds below.
as picture below
(total sts: 48post sts, and 96sc, total of 144sts)

Round 23:  dc in every sts (144sts)
Round 24: sc in every sts (144sts)
