Sophie’s Garden is my most popular pattern to date and I have had quite a few requests for translations. I am pleased to tell you that the pattern is now available in French, translated by Sandra Larvin.
The photo above is Sandra’s version of Sophie’s Garden (used with her permission).
Thank you very much, Sandra!

Do you have by any chance a diagramm for this pattern ? Actually i would like to undersize this blanket for the purpose of making the back of a jacket.

There is no diagram for this one :) There are step by step videos though x

um…WOW! This design is amazing! You’re incredibly creative, talented & generous for sharing your beautiful design! [Thank you!] Have you submitted this to any crochet or mixed media publications? I think the magazines would love to publish such a “un-granny-like” granny square pattern!
Thanks again!

Hi Nadia
Thank you for your comment. I have not submitted Sophie, purely because the pattern is very detailed and EXTREMELY long (due to the photo tutorials). I know I could abbreviate it, but I wrote it specifically for beginners and intermediate crocheters, and it gives me immense joy when people manage to make Sophie’s Garden despite thinking it’s above their skill level. Maybe one day…

Love the French version of this Mandela. Wish it was in English but I think with your great photos and my very old HS french I might be able to figure out that extra decollate border. It almost has a Turkish feel to its design.
Question? Do you block and stiffen this pattern to help hold its shape? I would make it as a wall hanging and would gift it to someone, so would want it to have some structure to it.

Tamarque, the French version is a translation of the original English version. You can find the English version HERE.
