Welcome to Part 11 of Charlotte’s Universe. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all your roses bloom last week. I wish I knew just how many of them we made collectively!
In this part, we will be revisiting those gorgeous Forget-Me-Nots. I think it is safe to say that some of you wish you COULD forget them! But I love them, and I think they are worth every yarn-over-twice.

Round 102 (Colour B) – Flowers
This round is the same as Round 42, but with way more Forget-Me-Nots!
Please Remember:
- The first chain after each Split 3-tr Bobble will make a little loop right after the Split 3-tr Bobble.
- Mark the second 3-tr Bobble of each side with a SM (the one at the top of the first Flower).
- The first 3-tr Bobble of each repeat is NOT made in front of the ch-5 sp. Only the second and third ones are. Please take a careful look at the Photos in Round 42 if you need help.
Join your yarn by making a standing FPsc around the second dc of any side. If you have trouble identifying this stitch, it is the last dc before the first ch-3 sp.
*(Make a 3-tr Bobble in the first ch after the next Split 3-tr Bobble. Sc into the ch-3 sp behind this 3-tr Bobble. Working in front of the ch-5 sp from the previous round: [Ch 4, 3-tr Bobble, ch 5, 3-tr Bobble] into the same ch. FPsc around the next dc) 29 times. Ch 6 and skip the next 7 st. FPsc around the next st, which should be the second dc of the next side.*

While we are on the subject of stitch markers…
Next week, we will be using stitch markers like they are going out of fashion. If you don’t have 50+ stitch markers casually lying around, you can use pieces of scrap yarn. If you don’t have scrap yarn, now’s an excellent time to work away some of those ends you haven’t worked away yet… and then use those ends to mark your work with 😊
As far as recommendations go, I use Clover Stitch markers (Amazon.com), although THESE ones (Amazon.co.uk/Amazon.com) are cheaper and just as good (in my opinion). Looking up the links, I saw that Clover has little squiggly ones as well (Amazon.co.uk/Amazon.com). They made me smile because they look as if they are shivering with glee :) I haven’t tried them yet, but I’ve ordered some.
