Fanny scarf is a english word according to my research. Could you elaborate what you mean?
It’s just the name of the pattern, named so by the designer Elly Donner.

Fair. But why would you name your pattern that? Does seem a bit... Unusual and confusing. The sexual names clothes brand has gone bankrupt has it not?

Probably a market for them in a vending machine somewhere.
That’s a great point, I would personally choose a different name 😅
In UK English, fanny scarf reads like a way of keeping certain parts of you warm after a full waxing treatment
