The Journey Scarf

The Journey scarf is the perfect little accessory to dress up a casual outfit or accompany you on a weekend getaway! The Journey scarf is worked flat from one end point to the other in three sections: CO + Increase // Work Pattern Repeat Straight // Decrease + Bind-Off. The beginner-friendly eyelet & chevron pattern is repeated throughout and is easy to memorize, making for a relaxing knit. For ease of knitting this pattern, written and charted instructions are both provided. Sizes Two sizes are offered for this pattern. Size 1 (pictured) measures approximately 4.25" / 10.5 cm wide x 45" / 112.5 cm long and is designed to be wrapped once, loosely, around the neck. Size 2 measures approximately 4.25" / 10.5 cm wide x 55" / 137.5 cm long and is designed to be wrapped twice or more around the neck // can be scrunched a bit closer for extra cozy warmth! Suggested Needles & Notions Needle size listed is a suggestion. Use size necessary to achieve specified gauge. • US 8 / 5 mm, 24” / 60 cm (or preferred circular length to work flat) • Removable progress markers to help keep track of pattern repeats • Scissors • Darning needle • Blocking mat and pins **Gauge Information** Pattern Repeat: 22 sts / 20 rows per 4” / 10 cm worked flat, measured post-blocking (detailed on page 3) ***Note!*** The gauge provided reflects the slipped edge stitches and the bias nature of the chevron pattern. To some extent, gauge is not critical for this pattern. Strive for a fabric that will drape nicely / isn’t too open nor too tight. Obtaining a gauge other than what is listed may alter yardage requirement listed below. **Suggested Yarn / Requirements** North Bay Fiber “Journey”, Heavy Worsted / Aran weight 100% American Romney wool (non-superwash) 175 yds / 159 meters per 100 grams 125 (150) yards / 114 (137) meters Samples reflects color: “Chinook” (taupe/brown), "Lotus" (pink/purple) and "Redear" (red) Note!
