Sophistication Made Simple
Apr 18th 2024
Sometimes you need a little something extra to make your outfit perfect, and we're betting that "je ne sais quoi" you're searching for is a Sophie Scarf.
Want to add a pop of color to an outfit? Put on a Sophie.
Need a little something cozy to wear with your new dress? Sophie.
Now that you've got the idea, we thought we'd share some of our favorite yarn selections for this stunning little scarf from PetiteKnit. The Sophie Scarf pattern uses a DK weight yarn and includes instructions to knit a small or large size.
Sophie Scarf in Fibre Co. Road to China Light (featured above in Carnelian)
Our shop sample of the Sophie Scarf is knit in Road to China Light - a yarn from The Fibre Co. that was inspired by the luxury textiles that were traded along the ancient Silk Road. This exquisite blend of baby alpaca, camel, cashmere, and silk create a fabric with a soft halo and scrumptious hand. We love the way this yarn feels when worn close to the skin and find the color palette inspired by precious stones offers something for everyone. Road to China Light is a yarn for creating something truly special, and just one skein will make either the small or large Sophie.

We love a good, squishy yarn - and Rowan Alpaca Soft DK is one of the smooshiest! This premium blend of 70% extra fine merino and 30% baby alpaca is a soft DK weight yarn that's ideal for cozy accessories. We currently have over 15 beautiful shades in stock, offering a variety of options to knit your Sophie with. One ball of Alpaca Soft DK is all you need to knit the size small, but you'll need two if you're planning on making the large!

Our love affair with Isager yarns knows no bounds, and if you're not familiar with them then the quick-to-knit Sophie Scarf is the perfect introductory project for you. Isager yarns really shine when you combine them, and we love the elevated fabric of their Silk Mohair paired with Alpaca 2.
Isager Silk Mohair is a beautiful blend of super kid mohair and silk that offers a lovely bit of sheen and a soft halo to whatever you knit with it. Isager Alpaca 2 is a blend of baby alpaca and Merino wool that boasts a delicate balance of drape and bounce. Both of these yarns are available in a gorgeous, rich color palette and we currently have over 20 hues of each in stock.
