I know there are a few of you who have been patiently (and impatiently) waiting for the pattern for Sophie’s Garden, so I am excited and relieved to finally share it with you.

The example above was made using 2 strands of Stylecraft Special Dk and a 5.5 mm hook.  You can now find a list of the colours I used HERE.

Although this is not officially part of the Block a Week CAL 2014, I know there are a few ladies who are wanting to incorporate this square into their blankets.  If you wish to do so, remember to use the same hook and yarn as for the rest of your squares and it will come out the same size as 4 of the other squares.

Have fun!  I am off to eat some Chinese and have me a big glass of wine!!

Different sizes

• Using a gauge of 7 rows and 16 st’s per 4” (10 cm) square, your final size will be roughly 22” (56 cm). I get this gauge by using a 5.5 mm crochet hook (US 9/I  UK 5) and worsted weight yarn.
