The Journey scarf is a simple yet striking accessory, inspired by the calm yet restless spirit of Snufkin, who follows the road wherever it leads. Its easy stitch pattern creates a textured fabric with rhythmic repeats along the entire length. A classic wool knit, Journey is timeless and practical — the perfect companion for long walks when the destination is unknown. Fringes add movement and flair.

The scarf, worked from end to end, can be easily modified in both width and length by adjusting the number of stitches cast-on or the number of pattern repeats. It pairs beautifully with the Wander sweater, which features the same stitch pattern.
