Why You’ll Love Sophorine
The Sophorine by Audrey Borrego is a versatile summer knitting pattern that offers two stylish options in one design: a classic V-neck tee with short set-in sleeves or a modern sleeveless top. With customizable texture and color stripe options, Sophorine provides a simple yet elegant canvas for creating a garment that perfectly matches your personal style.
Worked seamlessly from the top down, the pattern features carefully shaped shoulders using German short rows, a flattering V-neckline, and optional bust darts for an improved fit. Whether you prefer subtle textured stitches, bold color stripes, or a combination of both, Sophorine is designed to become a wardrobe staple for warm-weather knitting.
