Sophie’s Garden

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.

Sophie's Garden Large Crochet Square

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!!

Difficulty

Intermediate

Gauge

Using worsted weight yarn and dc stitches:

8 rows and 18 st’s per 4” (10 cm) square.

Size

19” (48 cm) in diameter.

Materials

  • 4 mm crochet hook (US G/6  UK 8)
  • Worsted weight yarn or double knit yarn (light worsted weight) – approx. 450 meters/500 yards
  • Yarn Needle

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.
  • Using a gauge of 6 rows and 14 st’s per 4” (10 cm) square, your final size will be roughly 24” (61 cm). I get this gauge by using bulky yarn and a 6 mm crochet hook (US 10/J  UK 4) OR 2 strands of double knit yarn and a 5.5 mm crochet hook (US 9/I  UK 5).

Instructions

Update 2/3/15:  Sophie’s Garden is now growing into Sophie’s Universe.   I have removed the photo tutorial that used to live here and I have added links to the new and improved tutorials.  The instructions remain the same, so if you were in the middle of a round, just hop over to the new tutorial and continue on.

    Hi,
    I have just finished my second “Sophie’s Garden” as a gift. It will be a wall hanging and I’m wondering if I should use some spray starch when I block it in order to help it maintain its shape over time?

      It should be fine without a spray starch. As long as you attach the entire top edge to something straight and solid, it shouldn’t cause any issues.

    I absolutely love this pattern. I can’t seem to access the list of colours you used in the Stylecraft special dk? Could I get this list please? Thank you so much.

      I am afraid that isn’t available now, but Dedri has the Scheepjes Colour Crafter version here, if that is a help :)

    In your opinion, do you think it looks best made with double stranded DK, or single stranded worsted/Aran?

      I have made it with double stranded chunky and it came out lovely! I have also made it with single stranded DK, and Whirl cakes which are finer still.
      It all depends on what size you want your finished blanket, really. The Garden square looks fabulous in all types of yarn :)

    I had the great idea of making two sophies garden and using them to make a pillowcase for a throw pillow

    Can you use acrylic yarn to make this mandala or it must be cotton?
