The name “Rêveur” refers to members of the Night Circus’ unofficial fan club. Its literal translation is “Dreamer.” Rêveurs are extremely devoted to all things Night Circus, and distinguish themselves from others with their uniform - all black or white clothing, with a single red accent (such as a scarf). Inspired by author Erin Morgenstern’s novel, The Night Circus, our Rêveur Scarf captures that magical Night Circus theme of the unexpected, starting with a soothing Fisherman’s Rib pattern, then transitioning at the half-way point into a lively play of knitted and slipped stitches. A sprinkling of optional black beads in the basketweave section of the scarf recreates the Rêveurs’ official uniform of bold red against black.
