Sophie Scar(ves) . . . as in multiple

Pattern: Sophie Scarf

Designer: PetiteKnit

Yarn:

  • Sophie Scarf #1 – Trellis by Yarn Hollow, a DK weight yarn with 60% merino/40% bamboo in the colorway Mushroom. (I have had 2 generous skeins – 620 yards each – in my stash since the early 2010s. That’s sweater quantity . . . but I’ve never used it because it has a “sheen” from the bamboo that I didn’t think I liked. I decided to use it for a Sophie Scarf, and lo and behold. . . the yarn is just lovely, sheen and all. It WILL become some sort of sweater now. Just sayin.) Note: Trellis yarn has been discontinued and Yarn Hollow is no longer in business.
  • Sophie Scarf #2 – Whisper from Briar Rose, a DK weight yarn with a blend of 40% alpaca, 40% wool, and 20% silk in a shades-of-green one-of-a-kind colorway. (I do have a sweater quantity of this beautiful yarn, and will knit something with the skeins remaining . . . someday.)
  • Sophie Scarf #3 – Pashm from Ewetopia, a DK weight yarn with a blend of 80% merino wool, 10% cashmere, and 10% nylon in the colorway Tapestry. This is a skein I picked up at my one-and-only visit to Rhinebeck back in 2014. This lovely variegated yarn was a Sophie Scarf experiment for me, and it turned out beautifully . . . because of the short color runs.

Needles: US 4

Started/finished: January 1 – 9, 2026 (#1), late January 2026 (#2), early February 2026 (#3)

Notes and modifications: I knit the larger size Sophie Scarf with no modifications. After blocking, my scarf measured 45 inches in length (a bit longer than pattern specs) and 5 inches wide at the point. (In the photos, you may notice a reddish thread woven through the stitching. That’s just my method of counting rows, and I pulled the thread out before blocking.)

This was a quick and easy knit, and I’m really happy with the end result. The yarn was lovely to work with, and blocked beautifully; I love the drape.

Can’t stop knitting these . . .

What will I do with it? It’s all mine! I have worn it every day since finishing it. I love it — and will likely make another soon. (Edited to add: #1, #2, and #3 are for me. #4 will be a gift for my sister.)
