Criss-Cross Keyhole Scarf

Recently my grandmother requested that I make her a keyhole scarf. My mom had made her one and she wanted one in a different color. Here is what I came up with for her:

Criss-Cross Keyhole Scarf

Materials:

1 skein Red Heart Shimmer Yarn (I used black)

Size I (5.5mm) crochet hook

yarn needle

scissors

Criss-cross stitch:

Skip next stitch and DC. Go back and DC in skipped stitch. Criss-cross made.

CH 34

1.  DC in 3rd CH from hook and each CH across. Turn. (32 DC total) 

    (CH 2 at beginning does not count as DC)
2.  CH 2. DC in first stitch. Criss-cross stitch in each stitch to last stitch. DC in last stitch. Turn.
3.  CH 2. DC in each stitch across. Turn.

Begin keyhole:

First row:       CH 2. DC in first stitch. Criss-cross stitch 7 times. DC in next stitch. Turn.

Repeat 2 keyhole rows 6 more times. Fasten off.

Repeat these 2 rows until you reach desired length. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

My grandmother requested that I add fringe to hers. It's up to you if you want to or not!

Enjoy!
