Sophie's Universe, Paperback

Sophie's Universe was originally released as a 20-part CAL (crochet-along) in 2015, designed by Dedri Uys and sponsored by Scheepjes yarn. It is now available in printed format exclusively from Annie's Despite its complexity, the pattern is actually written specifically for adventurous beginners. It starts out with a simple granny square that has a beautiful crochet flower in the center and gradually unfolds into a stunning, hypnotizing design.

Dedri Strydom is a South African living in London who works as a radiotherapist by day, but at night can be found huddled over her crochet hook, furiously scribbling down designs on pieces of scrap paper. She was taught by her grandmother at a young age but didn't really pick up the practice again until pregnant with her second son. She hopes that readers enjoy making these little critters half as much as she did designing them.
