Sophie Shawl Pattern by Petite Knit

There’s something rather lovely about a simple shawl done really well – and the Sophie Shawl by Petite Knit is exactly that.

Worked back and forth from tip to tip in soft, satisfying garter stitch, this is the kind of project you can settle into without overthinking. The built-in i-cord edges give it that beautifully neat, finished look, so even though it’s simple, it feels quietly polished and considered.

It’s a true wardrobe staple – the sort of shawl you’ll reach for time and time again. Light enough to drape, cosy enough to wrap, and endlessly wearable whether you’re pottering at home or heading out. 

Knit it in our gorgeously soft Cashmere yarn for the ultimate cover up.

Why we love it

This is one of those patterns that really lets your yarn shine. Knit it in something soft and luxurious like cashmere and you’ll end up with a piece that feels just as good as it looks.

It’s:

• relaxing to knit
• easy to wear and perfect to throw over your shoulders in in-between seasons
• just the right size for everyday wrapping

Perfect for a bit of mindful making, a gift you’ll be proud of, or simply something special for yourself.

And because it’s worked in one piece, there’s no faff at the end – just cast off, give it a gentle block, and it’s ready to wear.
