Free Keyhole Scarf Knitting Patterns

Small, practical and easy to wear, keyhole scarves stay neatly in place without needing to be wrapped or tied. These free keyhole scarf knitting patterns feature a clever opening that lets you pull one end of the scarf through the other for a snug, comfortable fit.

Choose a simple knitted keyhole scarf for an easy project, or try a lace design for something lighter and more decorative. Sometimes called pull-through scarves, these shorter scarves are a great alternative to long traditional scarves when you want warmth around the neck without lots of extra bulk.

Keyhole scarves can also be particularly satisfying small projects when you want to experiment with a pretty yarn or stitch pattern without committing to a full-length scarf.
