| My finished Sophie's Universe! |
I feel like I've climbed Crochet Everest. That's right, I completed (to part 18) Sophie's Universe! If you haven't heard of it, it is the massive CAL (crochet-a-long) with 113 rows of flowery crochet. It took me over a month to create. I wanted to make this, just to see if I could. Plus, the instructions were very easy, but I feel like I've learned tons of new stitches and styles.
Here's the CAL: http://www.lookatwhatimade.net/crafts/yarn/crochet/sophies-universe-cal-2015/sophies-universe-cal-2015-information/
Anyway, when I finished and posted a few pictures a lot of people wanted to know my color scheme. So here it is! First off, I only used Red Heart Super Saver (because I'm cheap).
Color List:
 |
| My 7-year-old charge playing with Sophie |
2. Gold
3. Pumpkin
4. Cherry Red
5. Dark Orchid
6. Soft Navy
7. Turquoise
8. Light Blue
You're going to need a lot of each color, especially the later colors. You'll need tons of the navy, turquoise and blue. Obviously, if you want to switch colors or can't find a certain one, feel free!
I thought it'd be easiest if I broke this down by each of the Sophie's groups.

WEEK 18:
I did things a bit differently on this week. Sophie's Universe ends on row 113, but to finish my pattern, I needed 114 rows. So I added a simple sc row as a second to last row. If you'd prefer not to get confused by this, just stick with the usual pattern.
110. Light Blue
111. Turquoise
112. Light Blue
113. Turquoise (this is the row that I did sc in every stitch, and (2sc, ch 2, 2sc) in each corner)
114. Light Blue
Here's one more pic of my little buddy hiding in my blanket. I don't recommend letting your kids doing this, since he stretched it out a bit, but he was having such a good time with it!
Happy hooking!
