Americana Keyhole Scarf

Cozy, practical, classic keyhole scarves and knitting patterns for them have been around for decades. Many free knitting patterns for keyhole scarves are available online. That said, enough people have asked me how I create my American Flag scarves, or Stars and Stripes scarves, or patriotic scarves that I have jotted my notes down as this pattern or DIY how-to guide. This is not a tutorial, therefore if unfamiliar with a term or technique mentioned, please look online for a video, knitting forum, or blog geared toward teaching.

This reversible scarf with one keyhole is knit flat in various sizes using Red Heart Super Saver “Americana” self-striping yarn (5 ounce skein, 236 yards).
