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!
