Sophie Scarf by Petite Knit (icord edging)- Starting

This is so incredibly helpful! I paid for the pattern this morning and realized I was too much of a novice to follow it. This video means I didn't waste my money. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it was very clear and really helpful. I bought the pattern and had started it but I didn't put together in my mind that it was an I-cord edge. I have knitted an I-cord for a tie but not done an edge. Very happy to find this!!

Thanks so much for this! As a new knitter I was unsure how to manage the icord with the increases … your instructions are very clear and simple!

I Bought Three Skeins Of A Hot Pink Mohair To Make The Sophie Scarf... Sadly I Haven't Been Able To Purchase The Pattern Yet Because Every Card I Have Declines The Pattern Charge Thinking It's Fraud. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Because I Google Nearly Everything Knitting, Even Though I've Been Knitty For 20+ Years, I Found This Video Helpful For When I Can Actually Buy The Durn Thing.

So glad you demo’d this. Excited to start now! ❤

[@raeleohana8797]

This was a godsend to find; thank you! I was disappointed not to find the decreasing explained. You showed how to do the increases so well, but I will be stuck once I come to the tapering part. I purchased both this and the Sophie Shawl pattern from Ravelry and began the shawl, but made a mistake. I have decided to start over again, but start with the scarf. I'd love to see a Part Two for the decreasing part. I know this is suuuper basic, but I am brand new! I have never decreased. Showing the bind-off would be wonderful too. I don't know if you'd be willing to continue on with a part two. Just showing a couple of decreasing rows. Either way, thanks very much for this one! Incredibly clear and well done. Will follow you for more! PS Just ordered that finger counter!

[@TheGingerNinjaKnitsandJournals]

There’s a second video for the decreasing.

[@bobacabuja]

Thank you so much. Ive been knitting for a while, but i didnt find the pattern to be very easy to follow 😅 was not sure if to keep the yarn in front or in the back, as well as the knitting in the middle.. all clear now! Thanks

I’ve made a few Sophie scarf with ease - thanks to your instructional video. Enjoyed the process. Currently been commissioned to knit two more and for some reason both are taking forever to complete. I work on one for a at least 42 rows then switch. 💭Eventually I went up a few sizes in needles.

[@StarfireReborn]

Did Your Needle Change The Size Drastically Or Did You Just Have An Airy Sophie Scarf? I've Seen So Many Knit Differently, But I Wanted To Use Mohair Held Triple For Mine & Was Wondering If It Would Be Too Dense, And If I Had To Go Up A Needle Size (Or Two) If It Would Be Kinda Sophie Shawl Size? Thanks For Your Input!

[@sagaciouslysage9454]

I suspect it was the needle size and tension.

Thank you! I was completely thrown slipping three at the end and having the working cord 3 stitches in when turning around.

[@TheGingerNinjaKnitsandJournals]

It confused my like crazy at first too! I’m so glad I could help.

[@knittingchick50]

When I made this, the increase front and back of stitch made a distortion along the I-cord edge so instead I knit 3 then made a backward loop thumb cast on. It makes a much neater increase.

Hello, and thanks for vid. I’ve done three so far but I’m suddenly running into challenges with the next. Was on row three and noticed the yarn was left in front (oppose to the back). I’m squeamish about fixing or tinking stitches without a more experienced knitter nearby.

[@TheGingerNinjaKnitsandJournals]

I completely understand your squeamish-ness. 😂 There’s a project I’d like to do with techniques new to me and I wish I knew another knitter in real life that I could just knit with so I wouldn’t feel so intimidated and alone in it. My local yarn store is an hour away, so I can’t just run there for help. I suggest bravely facing the frog and watch some “Tink” videos and trying. The worst that could happen is that you’d start over. I dropped a few stitches when I was doing my scarves and it was so frustrating, but after after you get into the groove it’s not so intimidating. Good luck to you and I appreciate you watching my video and commenting. It helps my channel a lot.
