The Sophie-Inspired Scarf




Disclaimer!!!

This is *NOT* a direct copy of the Sophie Scarf, though it is meant to mimic it. To make this pattern, I took heavy inspiration from the Sophie Scarf as well as The Simple Thing by Melina Brell. I also used heavy inspiration from what I’ve heard about the pattern as well as what I know about the pattern, but I’ve never made the Sophie Scarf myself. I really respect and appreciate PetiteKnit for what she’s been able to bring to the community.

Sizes: one size Completed Length: 102 cm [40 ¼ in] Needles: 4 mm [US6] 16 inch circulars, or straight needles if you prefer Yarn: around 70 g of weight 3 yarn. I personally used Coboo by Lionbrand Abbreviations: K: knit KFB: knit front and back P: purl WYIF: with the yarn held in front Notes: I have this written as one size, however if you prefer a smaller scarf simply stop increasing when it is half the length that you want and begin the decreases. That also goes for if you want a longer sweater, just repeat the increase rows until it is at the preferred length. I also highly encourage experimenting with different yarn weights/needle sizes. The Pattern: All increases and decreases will be worked on the “right side” of the work. Cast on 6 sts. Work increases every 8th row along one side of the scarf Row 1: K to the last 3 STS on the needle, slip the last 3 sts purl-wise WYIF. Row 2: K to the last 3 STS on the needle, slip the last 3 sts purl-wise WYIF. Row 3: Repeat 1. Row 4: Repeat 2. Row 5: Repeat 1. Row 6: Repeat 2. Row 7: Repeat 1. Row 8: K2, KFB, K to the last 3 STS on the needle, slip the last 3 STS purl-wise WYIF. Work Rows 1-8 a total of 27 times. You should now have a total of 33 STS on the needles. Now work decreases every 8th row along the same side. Row 1: K to the last 3 STS on the needle, slip the last 3 sts purl-wise WYIF. Row 2: K to the last 3 STS on the needle, slip the last 3 sts purl-wise WYIF. Row 3: Repeat 1. Row 4: Repeat 2. Row 5: Repeat 1. Row 6: Repeat 2. Row 7: Repeat 1. Row 8: K3, SKP, K to the last 3 STS on the needle, slip the last 3 STS purl-wise WYIF. Work Rows 1-8 a total of 26 times. You should now have a total of 7 STS on the needles. Now work final 7 rows as follows: Row 1: K2, SKP, slip the last 3 STS purl-wise WYIF. Row 2: K3, slip the last 3 STS purl-wise WYIF. Row 3: Repeat 2. Row 4: Repeat 2. Row 5: Repeat 2. Row 6: Repeat 2. Row 7: Bind off the first 3 STS knit-wise and bind off the last 3 STS purl-wise. Weave ends into I cord, or as you prefer.
