Qfknit has shared an awesome and versatile

free scarf pattern with the FiberKind Forum.

This keyhole scarf pattern is absolutely brilliant;

there is no need to tie it or pin it,

since it has a built-in keyhole

 to slide the tail of the scarf through.

It's so easy to wear!

The scarf stays snugly in place.

And this scarf is designed for worsted weight yarn,

which many knitters have in their stash.

Please visit the KAL forum topic to see the many variations

our group members have posted.

Here's my keyhole scarf, made with Red Heart Fiesta yarn

in a black and gold marled colorway:

I started with 28 stitches.  Then I swung a measuring tape

around my neck to estimate the total length of the scarf 

(which ended up being 40 inches).

What a fun and quick project!

Qfknit has also provided a bunting keyhole scarf variation 

with a decorative edge:

These scarves make super last-minute holiday gifts!

The charming all over ripple design

makes this poncho a winner!

It's knitted sideways in a stripe pattern,
