Ready for Part 2 of Charlotte’s Universe Blanket CAL, design by Dedri Uys? In this post you find everything you need for part 2 of Charlotte’s Universe, including my Scheepjes Stone Washed colorway that I named Strawberry Ice Cream. I am enjoying a small holiday with some sunshine, some rain, but especially some time with my family.

My Strawberry Ice Cream Charlotte’s Universe & Color Placement
I used the following 7 colors of Scheepjes Stone Washed for my Strawberry Ice Cream Charlotte’s Universe together with a 3.5mm hook.
- 10 x Color A – 821 Pink Quartzite
- 9 x Color B – 820 Rose Quartz
- 5 x Color C – 810 Garnet
- 5 x Color D – 818 Lilac Quartz
- 5 x Color E – 811 Deep Amethyst
- 7 x Color F – 836 Tourmaline
- 2 x Color G – 819 New Jade
I have yarn kits available in my SHOP for Charlotte’s Universe Strawberry Ice Cream in Scheepjes Stone Washed yarn.
You can buy Scheepjes Stone Washed from Wool Warehouse (UK), Jimmy Bean Wools (USA), Love Crafts (USA), The Knitting Network (UK), Caro’s Atelier (NL/EU), or your local Scheepjes Stockist.
My color placement for my Strawberry Ice Cream Charlotte’s Universe Part 2 is as follows, using a 3.5mm hook:
| Round | Color |
| 19 | D – 818 Lilac Quartz |
| 20 | A – 821 Pink Quartzite |
| 21 | B – 820 Rose Quartz |
| 22 | E – 811 Deep Amethyst |
| 23 | A – 821 Pink Quartzite |
| 24 | D – 818 Lilac Quartz |
| 25 | F – 836 Tourmaline |
| 26 | A – 821 Pink Quartzite |
| 27 | A – 821 Pink Quartzite |
| 28 | E – 811 Deep Amethyst |
For many of these rounds I do not follow the official color placement, meaning that sometimes I change colors where the original pattern does not and visa versa. You can either start the round with a standing stitch using the new color, or use the last yarn-over of the last stitch of the current row to change colors for the next row.
Official Yarn Kits
There are three official colorways for the Charlotte’s Universe blanket; Vintage Charlotte, Sunshine Charlotte and Pink Charlie. You can of course make the blanket in any colorway you like, and knowing Dedri she will love to see all your color combinations! Dedri has made the original Vintage blanket using Scheepjes Softfun Aquarel (DK/Light Worsted Weight/#3).
If you would like to make your own color combination, you will need 37 balls of Scheepjes Softfun (DK/Light Worsted Weight/#3) in the following combination, where color B is the contrast color.
- 21 balls of Color A
- 10 balls of Color B
- 6 balls of Color C
You can find more tips and a coloring chart to help you find your perfect color placement on Dedri’s blog HERE.
There are Charlotte’s Universe kits available from Wool Warehouse (UK/Int), or you can purchase Scheepjes Stoftfun yarn individually from Caro’s Atelier (NL) or many Scheepjes stockists world wide!

Hallo, ik zou graag het garenpakket voor Charlottes universe bestellen. Maar dan met Scheepjes stone washed. Als dat mogelijk is,wil ik graag een bestelling plaatsen.
Groeten, Ria.

Hallo Ria,
Ik heb mijn Stone Wased versie in roze/paars nog niet af, dus ik weet niet hoeveel garen er van welke kleur nodig gaat zijn. Ik gebruik 7 kleuren en het origineel 3, dus het is niet zomaar overzetten helaas.
Het origineel gebruikt Softfun, dat een iets kortere looplengte heeft dan de stone washed. als je graag een stone washed in 3 kleuren wilt maken kun je de softfun hoeveelheden aanhouden en er ongeveer 2 bollen van elke kleur extra bijdoen om te compenseren voor het verschil in looplengte.
GRoeten,
Esther
