Hello and welcome to the Sophie’s Universe crochet-along.
If you are new to this journey, I am so excited for you! I hope that you will enjoy making this blanket with us. May you learn lots of new stitches and make many, many good friends along the way!
Sophie’s Universe CAL 2015
Sophie’s Universe began as a mystery crochet-along on 18 January 2015 and ran for 20 weeks. When we started, nobody knew what the finished blanket would look like, or just how intricate it would become!
By the time the design began revealing its complexity, thousands of crocheters were already making Sophie, encouraging each other and discovering that they could do things they might never have attempted if they’d seen the finished blanket first.
With over 8,000 projects on Ravelry, Sophie’s Universe continues to bring crocheters together more than a decade later. From complete beginners to experienced crocheters, Sophie is a crash course in crochet and a wonderful adventure!
Above all, my goal with this pattern has always been to help people approach complex patterns with confidence. Every stitch is just a stitch. You don’t need to know how to make the whole blanket before you begin. You only need to know how to make the next stitch.
Two warnings:
- Pets LOVE Sophie, so prepare to be ambushed!
- Partners and spouses are not immune to her either, often helping to choose colours or checking up on progress (and very occasionally starting one too – like my husband).
Even though the crochet-along has finished, the instructions will remain available on this website (for free) indefinitely. Sophie’s Universe is now also available as a 216-page step-by-step crochet book.

Difficulty
Intermediate, with a caveat!
Sophie’s Universe is technically an advanced crochet pattern, but it was written specifically with adventurous beginners in mind. I was a beginner(ish) myself when I designed it, so you don’t need to be an advanced crocheter to make Sophie!
With detailed step-by-step photo tutorials, accompanying video tutorials, and dedicated online communities where you can ask questions and find support, you’ll have plenty of help along the way.
In fact, some people have made Sophie as their very first crochet project!
Gauge
The best way to check your gauge is to complete Part 1 of Sophie’s Universe (Rounds 1–8) and measure your work.
| Large | Medium | Small | |
| At the end of Part 1: | 18 cm (7″) | 14 cm (5.5″) | 10 cm (4″) |
The measurements you get at the end of Part 1 will be roughly a tenth of the predicted final size of your blanket.
If your measurements differ from those listed above, don’t panic! It simply means that your tension is different from mine. This will affect your blanket’s finished size and how much yarn you need.
If you are using a yarn kit and your gauge is larger than mine, you may wish to adjust your hook size so that you don’t run out of yarn. If you are using your own yarn or stash, all that really matters is that you are happy with the drape and look of your work.
Size and Materials
Sophie’s Universe was originally made in three different Scheepjes yarns, each with a different yarn weight and finished size. The table below compares the three versions, including their hook sizes, yarn quantities and colours.
You are not limited to these yarns or sizes, though. You can make Sophie with any yarn you like, as long as you’re happy with the resulting fabric and drape.
Please note that the table below does not include the yarn needed for the Optional Squares and Border. You will find the yardages for that under Helpful Templates below.
| Large | Medium | Small | |
| Finished Size: | 1.8 m x 1.8 m (6′ x 6′) | 1.4 m x 1.4 m (4’7 x 4’7) | 1 m x 1 m (3’3 x 3’3) |
| Yarn Weight: | Worsted Weight (#4) | Double knit (#3) | 4 Ply (#2) |
| Hook Size*: |
|
|
|
| Yardage: | 3900 meters (4265 yards) | 3400 meters (3720 yards) | 2500 meters (2730 yards) |

Official Colour Packs for Sophie’s Universe CAL 2015
The original Stonewashed XL, Softfun, and Rainbow Colour Crafter packs are still available from Wool Warehouse. These packs contain enough yarn to complete Sophie’s Universe without the Optional Squares and Border, as long as your tension matches mine.
If you are using a different yarn or your tension is looser than mine, please refer to the Helpful Templates below to calculate how much yarn you may need.
The original Cotton 8 colour pack is no longer available, but you can still find the yarn quantities and colour numbers in the materials table above.

Important Tips
Choosing Your Hook Size
Some people have experienced problems with the centre of their Sophie bulging. To help prevent this, I recommend starting with the smaller of the two hook sizes listed in the materials table above, then switching to the larger hook after completing the initial mandala (Parts 1–3).
For example, if you’re making the large version with worsted-weight yarn, start with a 5 mm hook for Parts 1–3, then switch to a 5.5 mm hook at the beginning of Part 4.
This is especially important if you’re a beginner, as your tension is likely to change as you become more comfortable with the stitches and techniques.
Blocking and Adjusting Your Hook Size
I recommend blocking Sophie at the end of Part 7 (see Blocking below). If the centre is still bulging after blocking, you may wish to go up another hook size at the beginning of Part 8.
Please keep in mind that increasing your hook size may affect your gauge and the amount of yarn you need, particularly if you’re using one of the official yarn kits.
Bulging and Buckling
As you work through Sophie’s Universe, you’ll notice that some rounds bulge while others buckle. Don’t panic! This is a normal part of the pattern’s intricate shaping, and these areas will settle as you complete subsequent rounds.
The exception is the centre bulging discussed above, which may require blocking or a change in hook size.
It is extremely important that you do not go down a hook size to compensate for temporary bulging or buckling (at all, ever)!

Blocking
I recommend blocking Sophie at the end of Part 7 and periodically thereafter, especially if the centre starts to bulge or the edges become uneven.
And yes, you can block acrylic yarn! Although acrylic doesn’t respond to blocking in quite the same way as natural fibres, it can still benefit from careful shaping. Just remember that acrylic is sensitive to heat, so avoid using a hot iron or direct steam on your work.
If you’re using foam mats for blocking, interlocking exercise mats (which is what I used) are a great, budget-friendly alternative to dedicated blocking mats, especially for larger projects like Sophie.
You’ll also need some pins to hold your work in place while it dries. I used Clover Fork Blocking Pins, but regular old sewing pins will do just fine.

Myra Getzel says
Dear Dedri
I have just now come across your beautiful creation. I was wondering if you have a downloadable version. Also where could I find it. I am not so computer savvy, so might need some help to do that too. I would absolutely love to make one of your Sofie’s.
Thank You so much,
Myra
Dedri Uys says
Hi Myra.
At the moment the pattern is only available as a CAL (in parts), but you can save each part to your computer using the print friendly button at the bottom of each part.
Rita Potter says
Hi Deidre,
I love your Sophie and want to collect some yarn to get started but I can’t figure it out.
In the first colour sceme you say: 23 Moon Stone. The other coulors don’t seem to have such a big amount of yarn,
Can you please help me out here, is the coulor sceme allright, do I need 23 balls of yarn too?
Hope to hear from you, love your work!
Kind Regards, Rita Potter
Jenny says
The number of balls are what you need to replicate the exact colour scheme Dedri has made, Rita, so yes, you need 23 balls of the one colour and however many of each accompanying colour to produce that colour way :)
Jenny
Alida says
Hi Dedri
Is there a pattern for the Sophie available in graph of a diagram? I do’nt see any.
Would love to make one of them.
Jenny says
Sophie is not produced by Dedri in graph form, just the written photo tutorial and video tutorial.

Phyllis Weidmann says
Hi Dedri. I’m on my second Sophie, and am just now reading the recommendation to purchase the interlocking exercise mats instead of the ones offered on Knitter’s Pride. I would also suggest the interlocking foam squares that can be found in most toy departments of large brick and mortar stores. I have both and actually prefer the children’s colorful ones. They are easy to insert the blocking pins in and store easily in a plastic bag that’s included.
Thank you so much for your wonderful patterns. I’ve purchased several of them, but I especially enjoy the CALs.
Elna Badenhorst says
Hi Dedri! I just finished my Sophie!!! I made her with Premier Cotton DK and 4mm hook. I didn;t do the blocks as I wanted her square to use as a tablecloth for my dining room table. I used the VVCAL’s border as I liked it better for a tablecloth. I attended your workshop in Stellenbosch on the Friday morning – my sophie was only halfway then! Would love to show you how she looks, just don;t know how or where? Thanks again for sharing your amazing talent with us, truly awesome project!!
Greetings from SA
Elna
Dedri Uys says
Hi Elna. I would love to see some pics (as I am sure cypresstextiles would too). You can use the ‘Contact Me’ tab to send me an email and then, when I respond, you can attach a photo (or 5).
Beth W. Willis says
I am having the best time making Sophie for my granddaughter to be born in January. I’m just starting Part 4 and oops, instead of changing my hook size at Part 4 I changed it at Row 4. I’m the worst at reading directions. BTW, your picture tutorials have been life-saving for me!
My question is: At Part 4 should I now use an H hook since I’ve been using a G since Row 4. Oh, my!
Dedri Uys says
Hi Beth. I would go up a hook size again, yes. Congratulations on your soon-to-be granddaughter.
Beth W. Willis says
Thank you!!
Suzette says
Hi Dedri,
Ek het van jou wonderlike werk deur Idees tydskrif gehoor. Ek is mal oor Sophies Universe en het vir my die wol van Deramores bestel en vandag ontvang. Ek wil graag weet of die PDF patroon vir Sophies Universe al beskikbaar is.
Ek is spyt dat ek te laat van jou besoek aan SA gehoor het.
Dankie vir pragtige werk!
Groete uit Suid Afrika!
Suzette
Dedri Uys says
Hi Suzette. Ons werk nog aan die boek, maar ons is amper klaar. Op die oomblik woek en weeg ons nog of die boek as ‘n pdf beskikbaar sal wees of net as ‘n ‘hardcopy’. Sodra ons ‘n datum het sal ek ‘n post doen daaroor. Ek is jammer dat jy die workshops gemis het!
Brooke says
Hey do you have sizes of what each part should be once it’s finished I’m done with part 5 and just wondering what size it should be when your using worsted weight yarn? Its looks really good I’m very happy about it just curious if mine is going to end up bigger than it should…. Which is fine just curious:)
Dedri Uys says
Hi Brooke. Under Helpful Templates you will find links to the yardages and sizes at the end of each part. You want to refer to the large size.
Holly says
It’s amazing to find such a beautiful pattern, so nicely written with extensive details for free! A million thanks for all of you and your team’s work.
Only one suggestion: When the print-friendly instructions are printed, I’m seeing that the photos above each round are from the round before. That means you have to read the directions on one page, and then keep turning the page to see the photos on the next page. It would be more helpful if the photos on the page matched the directions for their round.
Thanks again for being so generous with your time and creativity!
Dedri Uys says
Hi Holly. Thank you for your comment. Print-friendly is a third-party program that prints whatever is displayed on the screen, not a pre-formatted pdf. I realize that the photos appearing on the previous page is very frustrating, but I have no control over which photos appear on which page. You can, however, highlight and delete certain parts of the text and/or photos to delete them and so change the layout. I hope that helps,
Dedri
Annika says
Hi Dedri
I’ve already made one Sophie and now I’m hooked!
I would love to make a second one and now I’d like to buy the yarn for it. The original Stonewashed XL is just to expensive for me. I’ve already found another Option, which is “Cap Cool Nr.1” by Buttinette. Unfortunately, it has a lenght of 59m/50g. The needle they would use is a 6 or 7. How many balls will I need? Is there a converter which I could use?
My first one turned out so beautiful. Thanks for the pattern!
Best wishes from Austria
Annika
Lone says
Hi Dedri. Just a quick note – Woolwarehouse.uk are not offering free worldwide shipping for any customer – I have ordered from 5 – 7 times And have always paid for shipping and handling to Denmark. And that is Infact a lot of money to add to the billing. 6£ almost for parcels up to 2 kilo. So I still wonder why you keep that info with the pattern. Because I don’t think anyone gets free shipping outside UK from woolwarehouse…… If I’m mistaken maybe you can explain how to get the shipping cost refunded…….
Dedri Uys says
Hi Lone. You are right and I will amend the links immediately. I am sorry about that! There are quite a few links, so it might take me a while to rectify all of them. If you spot any that haven’t been corrected yet, please let me know.
Pearl says
Deramores gives free shipping for an over $50 purchase.
Sue says
I am going to try and make the small Sophie’s universe using the 4ply. You say to start with the smaller crochet hook but listed are two sizes for each 2.5 mm or 2.75 then change to 3mm or 3.25. Which should I use.
Thanks
Sassie says
Hi. Thank you for the lovell pattern and the excellent instructions and videos. I am a beginner and i have to say i made a few mistakes, but after frustrating start of frogging i decided to just crochet….and i did. I was a stich out here and there, actually a whole rose extra at one point! But now its finished you cant tell, i learned loads and loads. I used chunky wool and size 5.5mm needle. I forgot to change to 6mm…but got away with it. Such fun was had, so if anyone is out there worrying about the pattern being to difficult just give it go and dont worry too much…just enjoy thanks again for your great work.
Dedri Uys says
Thank you, Sassie. I am so pleased that you managed to figure your whoopsies out. The extra rose made me giggle. Did you leave it as a special something or did you frog it?
Sassie says
I didn’t frog a thing…I just rolled with the mistakes …this week the blanket one a cup in the local show…even with its extras…it’s brought a lot of smiles and blanket and cup are now on display in the local yarn shop window..my husband says its not Sophie but Dopey universe. ..thanks for all the fun..
Barbara says
Hi
I am an advanced easy to low intermediate crocheter and would love to start Sophie’s Garden / Universe along with the square borders. But, there are so many places to click for information it becomes overwhelming! Can you help me out where I can obtain the full pattern(s) and photo tutorials. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you Barbara K
Dedri Uys says
Hi Barbara. All the information you need is in this post and the links to each part can be found towards the bottom of the page. I appreciate that there is a lot of information and I have tried to lay it out to the best of my ability. I suggest that you read through this whole post, because there are quite a few important tips. Once you have read this post, click on The Part 1 link and it will take you to where the CAL starts. Once you have finished Part 1, come back to this post and click on Part 2 (and so on and so forth). Each part contains all the abbreviations, colours, tips, and photos for that part. Each part also contains a link to the video for the relevant part.
Alternatively you can wait for the book to come out.
Good luck and I hope you enjoy the journey.

Heather Izzard says
Hi Dedri
I’ve started, finally and am just finishing the 4th round. The flower.
Well it’s about time!
I got hubby to print it all for me so I can change the USA stitches into UK.
I will watch the video’s too and I’m certain that will help.
I’m doing the large one and using the uk sized 4.5mm hook as I understand the pattern says , to start smaller then move to the size 5mm
I thought I’d better ask now before I get like the last lady so far I have to undo it. That would break my heart.
I know you’re off to S Africa soon and no doubt crazy up the wall.
Have a wonderful time.
I’ll message you on IG too.
Dedri Uys says
Hi Heather. If you are going to make your blanket with a 5 mm hook, start with a 4.5 and then go up at the start of part 4. You can always go up again if you feel it needs it.
Have fun!
Julie Jarrett says
I just frogged my Sophie back to Round 8. I begun it after double knee surgery last year and the way anaesthetics mess with your mind I got lost and couldn’t for the life of me follow the pattern so I went off on my own and while it looked okay – I incorporated the crocodile flower into it, and it was big enough to cover most of the top of my queen bed…but it just bugged me, so 2 days ago I began frogging, and I’ll start again, and this time count rows and stitches as I should have done before but couldn’t.
I guess my thoughts here are that if you’re not happy with something,don’t be afraid undo and redo, it is liberating. It takes a lot to frog that much, but I feel SO much better having done it as I don’t have to look at my failure any more and I can do better and understand it this time.
Dedri Uys says
Julie, I shuddered when I read how much you had to frog! But good on you for going with your gut. How are your knees?
Julie Jarrett says
Dearest Dedri, thank you for asking. Th knees are wonderful – no more pain. Well I must confess I didn’t stop at row 8, but pulled it ALL undone.. I am now back on row 26 and it seems so much easier this time. Oh and I LOVE the crab stitch. I’ll post a photo one of these days. You are so talented and a most generous soul ..thank you and bless you.
Dedri Uys says
Ouch!!!! Not all of it!!!
Julie Jarrett says
Thank you Dedri for asking…the knees are great now. Well I have to confess I ended up pulling it ALL out and started from scratch…I am up to row 26 and it is so much easier now with a clear mind and being able to count coherently.. I LOVE the Crab stitch by the way. Thank you sweetie for your kindness, patience and generosity to us all. You are the BEST!
Julie Jarrett says
My sincere apologies for the duplicate postings…PLEASE delete 2? It didn’t show up when I posted. Feeling very silly.
Dedri Uys says
Hi Julie, I’m pretty sure I have already deleted the duplicate x
Jacki Le Breton says
Hi Dedri, Oh how I love this blanket… and I really want to do it…. I have 40 x 50gram balls of Panda woolblend crepe 8 ply in cream and was wondering if it would be sucessful or do you think the 8 ply cotton would look better, I am concerned about the ends creating bulk, does this happen.? I noticed some of the comments are from Australia as I am too.
Dedri Uys says
Hi Jacki. You don’t need to worry about the ends creating bulk. I can’t even see where I worked my ends away. The panda should work well. I have never worked with it, so don’t have first-hand knowledge, but I have seen projects made with it and they looked good.
Barb says
Maybe a silly question, but to make the different size Sophie’s, It’s all in the hook size. Stitch count stays the same, right? So the pattern is the same, just use the different hook size. Or am I missing something? I’m making the largest size, I believe-(at part 6 right now). Love it so far. What a fun project.
Dedri Uys says
Barb, hi. The istructions for the 3 sizes are exactly the same. The only difference is hook size AND yarn weight. The small is made with Cotton 8 (sock weight), the medium is made with double knit (light worsted weight) and the large is made with worsted weight.
Carol Elosser says
I would be very interested in how this all came about. Did you ladies all know each other somehow? How did this wonderful, amazing piece of art come about? I admire all of you!!!
Dedri Uys says
Hi Carol. I am not quite sure which ladies you are referring to… I designed Sophie’s Universe. My friend Kimberly Slifer hosted the CAL in her group. Esther from It’s All in a Nutshell did the videos, and the translators graciously offered their time to translate the pattern.
Marsha Smith says
Hi Deri,
I’m ready to begin this beautiful blanket. Are the yarn packages still available for purchase?
