Many of you have expressed that you prefer keyhole scarflets. I do too! They stay put once you close them around your neck, they do not have an uncomfortable knot and they don't have to be so long that you seem to drag them around, sticking them where you don't want them. They can also be made in a jiffy, which is always a plus. This pattern is freely shared for personal and charity use. Enjoy!

My Sister has a whole wad of shopping cards which she regularly uses, at the pharmacy, different supermarkets, etc. She wanted to have them all organized and handy but she did not want to have them in her wallet, so she purchased a smaller little wallet with plastic sleeves, to put them into but with use, the sleeves tore and she came to me and asked me to make her a little bag  that she could use to keep her shopping cards all organized and readily available in her purse or bag.
