★ About translation:
I have to read all the content of Sophie's world official website, and then translate the information I think is useful, and write it in the post in the way we think Chinese, although sometimes it is wordy, so that everyone can understand and hook it.
★ About Bulging Belly (Important)
After the stereotype, I found that the fabric center has a "bulging belly" phenomenon, and the reaction of friends after the hook has the same situation, I remembered that I had seen Dedri's post about the "central drum belly" on the homepage of the official website, because at that time I had not yet started hooking, there was no experience, so I did not look closely, after the hook was completed, I found this problem, this morning I found this post to look at it, it seems that many people have mentioned this matter to her, she analyzed four reasons, I recognize one of them, that is, the middle part of this blanket is similar to a lace pattern, the sparseness of the hook, The tightness of the outer ring pattern hook, the tightness of the outer and the looseness of the inside, so that the central part of the "bulging belly" appears, I think it is a defect in the design, not by stereotyping can be solved.
She came up with a solution, taking the large blanket as an example, using a 5.0mm crochet needle when hooking part 1-3 "mandala", a 5.5mm crochet needle starting from part 4 (the needle of this specification is the one she recommends hooking a large blanket), and a 6.0mm crochet needle starting from part 8. Starting from Part 7, for each completed part, set the shape once and straighten the edges so that the "belly" can be flattened.

The beauty of the stream, the water knows; the softness of the mountain, the wind knows. The brilliance of the flowers, you know; the beauty of the blanket, I know. I didn't expect to take out the dream of half a year in 2016, but it only took 47 days to complete, I don't want to be fast, I want to be slow, slowly enjoy this beautiful, quiet life. When I was a teenager, I often thought about the question, why there is always a "fast" word when describing happy and happy mood, such as: happy, happy, happy, happy, happy... Thanks to Ms. Dedri, the designer of Sophie's World (Blanket), for making me enjoy so much fun. When I encountered a word puzzle during the translation, I asked ms. Moon, a master weaver, for thank you. I hooked the medium blanket and prepared the 11 colors of the thread to be as close as possible to the original design, which took some time. Let's pick up the crochet, pick up the thread, and step into the "World of Sophie."

Procrastination finally completed Sophie's world, really gray is often excited, at this time the most wanted to say is gray often thanks to the translation of Teacher Fang Fei, can hook such a beautiful blanket in his spare time. If there are weavers who also like Sophie's world hook up, before hooking must first go to see the beginning and end of Sophie's world written by Teacher Fangfei, which writes about the problem of needle change, because the whole process of using the same needle may appear in the central part of the bulge, my blanket uses 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 three models of crochet, so I feel that the overall blanket is still flat. Buy cheap old cotton thread, used to use this line hook tablecloth, because the thread is relatively thin, hook blanket words, I am two strands hooked together. I see that many weaver girl hook blankets are made of snow or baby cotton thread, which should be relatively soft. The old cotton thread I used hooked up relatively hard, I liked it, and I washed it many times without dropping the ball, it felt very textured.

Sheng Tang 8 strands of milk cotton (bought 29 colors, each color 8 two, a total of more than 900 points, but I did not use so much, probably used half of it, you can buy five shares, 8 strands a little rough) carpet diameter is about 1.9 meters, now talk about some of my experience in the process, if you carefully read Fang Fei teacher's post, you should find that this blanket will bulge in the middle, it is said that it is a design problem, everyone better change the needle, forgive me for being lazy, the first middle square I have changed once, after not changing, if everyone hooks the last in the 54 circles to 80 circles of the four large petals of the place to change the small needle, otherwise this place will drum, remember only the petals to change, other short needles parts do not change, so it should be much better, I did not change, so the drum, do not know how to finish after the finalization , Fang Fei teacher's post said that the best knitting edge stereotyping will be much better, but the stereotyping is also troublesome, the first time to use too much, so I am lazy again, this is simpler than the crazy mandala, but I personally did not feel, I finally did not add the edge of the spelling, mainly tired! Needed a break lately, too tired

Wiring: 5 strands of milk cotton with a total of 24 clusters (100g/ball) of 11 colors, including: orange *2, light pink*2, medium powder (or pink)*2, carmine*2, rose*2, jujube*2, sky blue*5, deep lake blue*1, olive green (or army green)*2, purple*2, dark purple*2. Needle: Hiroshima crochet 7/0 4.00mm Finished product size: 1.44m*1.44m Finished thread quantity: 1700g About the leftover: Since the 5 strands of cotton thread are 100g/ball, there are many leftovers. Personally, I think I can hook the {Sophie's Garden} part as a cushion or throw pillow. You can also continue to increase the size of the blanket hook nineteen, twenty parts. About the stereotype: I used the stainless steel wire bought in the hardware accessories store in the building materials market, which is very cheap, the specification is 3mm/m, and the price is 3 yuan/root. It will be cheaper to buy online. When setting, the four sides of the blanket are worn with stainless steel wire, and the blanket is wet with a watering can, flattened, and then fixed with a styling needle. Wait for the blanket to dry naturally - the finalization is over.
