Charlotte’s Universe Video Tutorial Part 9

You can find the RIGHT HANDED and LEFT HANDED video tutorials for Charlotte’s Universe on my YouTube channel. In the video description you will find time points that mark the start of each round.

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

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.

Here is my color placement for Charlotte’s Universe Part 9. I really like how the deep red divides the different sections of the blanket.

Round	Color
84	E – 811 Deep Amethyst
85	B – 820 Rose Quartz
86	D – 818 Lilac Quartz
87	A – 821 Pink Quartzite
88	C – 810 Garnet
89	C – 810 Garnet

For some 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 slip stitch to the corner and use the last slip stitch in the corner space to change colors.

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!
