The Joy
Scarf
by Alex Collins Designs
The Joy Scarf is a timeless pattern every knitter needs in their library.
It's a simple, meditative knit with a slip-stitch edge that adds structure and a neat
finish. The scarf drapes beautifully and none of the edges curl.
Knit one for yourself and then make Joy for everyone on your gift knitting list. It’s a
classic, no-purl rib design that looks great on everyone.
The Joy Scarf is knitted using two skeins of The Fibre Co. Cumbria Fingering. A plump
and woolly fingering weight yarn made from fine Merino for softness, Argentinian
mohair for strength and lustre, and wool from the English Masham sheep to give the
yarn it's heathered colour.
