Pist væk is Danish for “then it’s suddenly gone” or “completely disappeared” and the term is impossible to translate directly. Just as the concept of “hygge” cannot either. The letter æ is not known outside Denmark. Therefore I spell it with ae instead

Pist væk is meant to be an easy, useful and quickly made scarf to get rid of the small delicious leftovers that you don’t want to throw away.

The pattern gives instructions to calculate own gauge based on the leftovers that are in the stash. And how to create a nice finish.

It is quickly knitted with the nicely large needle. The airy fabric of the scarf makes it a comfortable scarf, which falls beautifully and is easy to put on

It is called an instruction rather than a pattern. Precisely because the knitter herself gets an empty canvas to fill with his own scraps and ideas
