Charlotte's Universe is a 12-week crochet-along that started on the 1st of August 2021. It is a continuous square blanket with a lot of floral/lace detail. **INSTRUCTIONS** The pattern is presented as a FREE 12-week photo tutorial, with charts by Masako Kawahara and videos by Esther Dijkstra. After many requests, I have now also added a **paid** written-only PDF version of the pattern. **MATERIALS** We have created three official colourways, but you are, of course, welcome to use whatever hook/yarn combination you desire. A colouring in template is provided to help you decide on colour placement. Two of the colourways (Vintage and Sunshine) use a 4mm hook and Scheepjes Softfun Aquarel/Denim. The third colourway (Pink Charlie) uses a 3.5mm hook and Scheepjes Woolly Whirl/Whirlette. Yarn packs for those are available in my [Wool Warehouse Shop][2]. **DIFFICULTY** Intermediate - *Although this is an advanced pattern, it has been specifically written for adventurous beginners* **SIZE** Vintage and Sunshine: 160cm (63") Pink Charlie: 130cm(51") **RELATED CHARLOTTE PATTERNS** *[Charlotte's Dream][3] *[Charlotte's Sunshine Baby][4] **ONLINE GROUPS** *Join the [Colourful CALs/KALs Ravelry Thread][5] *Join the [Facebook Group][6] I hope that you will thoroughly enjoy this pattern and the wonderful journey it will take you on (even during the frustrating bits).
