Margrethe Scarf

Meet the Margrethe Scarf — a dainty, elegant piece with just the right amount of detail and charm. Knitted from tip to tip, this scarf combines cableknit and ribbing, finished with polished i-cord edges for a refined look. Its delicate size allows it to be tied once or twice around your neck, making it the perfect accessory to elevate any outfit.

Named after my little sister Margrethe, who refused to learn how to braid her own hair (because why bother when she had me waking up at dawn to do it for her?), this scarf is a tribute to those early mornings and her knack for getting what she wanted — effortlessly stylish and a little mischievous.

Whether you’re looking to stay cozy or add a chic touch, the Margrethe Scarf is a versatile, beautiful piece that’s as fun to knit as it is to wear.
