Traditional scarves are cozy, but they have one annoying habit: the ends can slide, shift, or fall off your shoulders. A keyhole scarf solves that with one simple crochet detail. This crochet keyhole scarf pattern includes a rectangular opening near one end of the scarf. Wrap the longer end around your neck, slide it through…
A cozy scarf is one of the easiest ways to add warmth to a winter outfit.
