Toddler Keyhole Scarf Knitting Pattern

4 Materials
This keyhole scarf is so simple to whip up. I made one for my daughter, and she looks so cute in it. :)
Cast on 14 stitches. Knit in seed stitch for 30 rows.
For the keyhole, I pulled the other end of the yarn out of the skein in order to have a new length of yarn to attach rather than use a new skein of yarn. (I know, I know, I admit I didn’t wind my yarn into a ball.) Knit in seed stitch for 7 stitches, then leave the yarn you’ve been knitting with and pick up the new length of yarn and continue in seed stitch. Doing so will leave a small hole in your work. Continue knitting in seed stitch for 10 more rows, knitting both sides with their separate ends of yarn.
Cut the yarn that you added into your piece, leaving a tail to weave in later and proceed to knit in seed stitch for an additional 100 rows. Bind off (in seed stitch) and sew in yarn ends.


I recommend measuring your scarf as it takes shape against your child and making it longer (or shorter) as needed. The scarf I knit for my daughter ended up being around 27 inches long. I wanted it short enough so I could tuck it into her coat and knew she didn’t need a big, billowy scarf that would drag behind her.
