This is the kind of little scarf that every crocheter should have in hand when thinking about gift-making.
It is also great for charity. It works up really fast. I made it in two sittings.
So, this one will work if you want to make a whole bunch of scarflettes.
Note 1- If you would like it to be a bit more loose around your neck, simply add 11 or 16 more stitches to the
foundation chain and follow the pattern as written originally. That will make the scarflet a bit lose
r. You can also make it the same length butreduce the size of the keyhole by 5 stitches, which will increase the give as the scarf is tied around the neck.
The idea of this one was to immitate a hankerchief around the neck, so it was not designed to be like a long
scarf that you can wind up several times around the neck. A young girl will love one of this one!
Make it in her favorite color or in blue jean hues!
Note 2- Ch 1 turning chain stands for 1 sc throughout.

Now I really like this style, I have 2 g-daughters and the youngest is 5. Of course she thinks she is much older, this would be perfect for her because it would stay put and not come unwrapped all the time. I must try this tomorrow....if I have any yarn??? Or I might just have to go shopping, wouldn"t that be just too bad?? 8>)
I forgot to add this, but if you make it for a child (who are very active) you could add a loop and a button, but I think it will stay put. It did it for me. Get her a nice soft yarn, that will be precious!

These are so cute. These would be great for spring in a nice sport weight cotton yarn. Thanks so much for sharing!!!!
You are very welcome!
I don't see a gauge and want to do this in bulky weight yarn. Do you have the width and length please?
Hi Rebecca, the size of the finished item is 5" W by 21" L. I did not design it for a chunky yarn and do not know how it would turn out in one. I take no responsibility for the result if you depart from the pattern suggestions.
