Finding Calm Scarf

Sometimes life just feels overwhelming, right? You're doing your best. You're trying to hold it all together. But we all go through seasons where our mental health takes a hit and during these times it's super important to look after yourself.

This pattern was written in conjunction with Anxiety NZ as a way to share some coping techniques with others while offering a creative outlet for people to enjoy for free. Maybe you've always wanted to learn how to knit, or maybe you've been knitting a long time and you just need a simple project on the needles ... this is a pattern for everyone.

Uses 900 metres / 985 yards of DK yarn (or sock yarn held double with mohair) and 5mm / US8 needles. Knit the ribbing flat and then the body of the scarf is knit in circles for a project that's easy to pick up and put down anytime. Links to video tutorials are included.

I hope this pattern brings you joy, calm and a good excuse to regularly sit in a sunbeam ... and maybe a cute scarf too.
