Welcome to the final part of Charlotte’s Universe.  I have had such a great time sharing this pattern with you and getting to know you a little bit.  Thank you so much for joining me on this journey.  I sincerely hope that you had fun, that you made new friends, and that you learned a thing or two along the way (mainly about your mad skills as a creator).

This week we create a simple solid border to frame everything nicely. No fancy stitches, no new tricks (unless you continue on with the bonus rounds for Pink Charlie)… just simple, mindful stitches.

If you would like to keep growing your Charlotte, you can always add parts of Around the Bases or any other pattern that grows in the round as a square.

The Facebook and Ravelry groups won’t be going anywhere soon, so if you are still busy with Charlotte, take your time :)

Thank you again,

xxx Dedri

Pink Charlie Extra Rounds

This extension is a bonus part for the Pink Charlie Colourway, so the suggested colours are specific to that colourway.  You are welcome to add it to your blanket if you want to grow it a little bit more.  For this part, we are using the Border we used for Charlotte’s Dream and Sophie’s Dream.

The Popcorns in this part are Really Lazy Popcorns.  They are created over 2 rounds.  In Round 2, you will make a series of 5-dc groups.  In Round 3, you will turn these 5-dc groups into Popcorns by using front post stitches.

Please note that there is no video for these extra rounds.

Bonus Round 3 (Colour B)

To make a FPhdc around a 5-dc group, yarn over and insert your hook from front to back into the ch-2 sp before the 5-dc group.  Insert your hook from back to front into the next ch-2 sp so that the 5 dc sts lie on top of your hook.  Complete your hdc as normal, making sure that your working yarn is above the 5 dc, not in front of them.  This will pull the 5 dc together and form a neat Popcorn.  If you want more help, have a look at my tutorial for the Really Lazy Popcorn.

And there you have it.  I will finish this post with a quote from the last part of Sophie’s Universe:

And so all good things must come to an end!  However, although this might be the end of his project, it is only the start of your journey; be it a journey of learning, a journey of healing, a journey of friendship, or a journey of discovery.

“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” – Winston S. Churchill
