Introduction: Why has the Sophie Scarf from PetiteKnit become a cult classic?
If you follow knitting trends on Instagram or Pinterest, you've probably heard of the Sophie Scarf , a small, minimalist knitted scarf designed by Danish designer PetiteKnit . 🎀
This pattern has won over knitters all over the world: simple, elegant and quick to knit.
At Knit-sis, we've fallen in love with it too 💕. But as always, we like to adapt projects to our cheerful and accessible style. That's why we're offering you an alternative version inspired by the original Sophie Scarf : easy, quick, and customizable, so everyone can make this trend their own.
👉 In this article, we explain how to knit our adaptation, which wools to choose, and how to adapt your scarf to your desires.
What is the Sofie Scarf (Knit-sis version)?
PetiteKnit 's original is a chic little triangular scarf, worked in jersey with thin edges. Our version takes this idea… but with a few twists to make it even more accessible for beginners .
▪️ ✨ Minimalist & modern : we keep the fashionable and timeless spirit.
▪️ ⏳ Even faster : construction is simplified, without complex techniques.
▪️ 🎨 Ultra customizable : stripes, bright colors, textures… it’s up to you.
👉 Result: a rewarding project, whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced knitter looking for a relaxing knit.
How to knit our adaptation of the Sofie Scarf 🧶
Necessary material
▪️ Needles 3.5 to 4 mm
▪️ 50 to 70 g of yarn (merino, cotton or alpaca)
▪️ Wool needle to weave in the ends
Steps
1️⃣ Cast on 3 stitches.
2️⃣ Increase 1 st at the beginning of each knit row → this creates the triangular shape.
3️⃣ Continue in garter stitch (easier than stocking stitch to start with).
4️⃣ Fold back loosely.
5️⃣ Block lightly to form the point.
Louise's tip: with mohair and silk yarn, the scarf becomes airy and elegant, perfect for a feminine-chic look ✨.
