Joy Scarf, No 2 knitting kit (donation to Mental Health Foundation Denmark)

Knitting kit for Joy Scarf in Önling No 2

The Joy Scarf is the little accessory you simply cannot do without in your wardrobe. It’s the scarf that – summer and winter – gives you that cozy feeling of warmth. On top of that, it hardly takes up any space, so of course it’s the one that always lives in your bag, ready for when you suddenly need a touch of extra comfort.

To mark 'World Mental Health Day' 2025 we are donating 15 DKK / 2,5 USD to The Danish Psychiatric Foundation for every Joy Scarf pattern we sell in 2025. We want to support The Danish Psychiatric Foundation in their mission to ensure that people going through difficult times in their lives are met with understanding and receive the help and guidance they need. In time.

There is plenty of research showing that knitting has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety by inducing a meditative state through its rhythmic, repetitive motions - and therefore we feel it is natural to support The Danish Psychiatric Foundation's important work.

Knit it in all your favorite colors, so you always have a scarf to match your outfits. We’ve knitted it in our luxurious Önling No 2, a super soft and airy merino yarn. The scarf is incredibly easy to style, as it looks the same on both sides. 

The knitting kit contains: Yarn for the selected size and color and a digital pattern. 

The pattern is a PDF file. Immediately after purchase you will be able to download the pattern directly from the purchase confirmation page. You will also receive an e-mail with a link to your pattern, and the pattern will be available here at the site via your personal account - so remember to create an account :-) Read more about digital knitting patterns here.
