Knitting child's scarf - small scarves that go for everything


Whether it’s a simple children’s scarf, a practical keyhole scarf or cozy hooded scarf – here you’ll find lovely knitting patterns for children. The designs are timeless and easy to knit, making them perfect for both beginners and more experienced knitters.

Knitting a keyhole scarf with a loop or a slit?

Both types of keyhole scarves are very easy to put on and take off, even for little hands. This makes a slip-on scarf particularly practical, especially when you’re in a hurry. For beginners, the version with a slit is a little easier to knit, but both styles result in a child’s scarf that stays in place and fits perfectly.

What is the advantage of a keyhole scarf for children?

Since the end of a keyhole scarf is simply pulled through the loop or slit, there is no need to tie a knot or wrap it around the neck. This also prevents long ends from dangling, which children might trip over or get caught on. For those who prefer a hood with scarf, also known as a ‘scoodie’, is a lovely alternative. Kids can slip on a hooded scarf in an instant, or wear it casually around their neck when it’s not too cold. It doesn’t get much cozier than that. Whichever version you choose, you’ll end up with a lovely knitting project that’s fun to make and that your child will love wearing.
