If you wanted to try to match them up, you could make up a small ball to match the color break when you reattach the stitches to finish the keyhole.

The scarf is pretty much one size fits all...if you wanted to make it a little smaller you could start out with 24 stitches (or any number divisible by two to split for the keyhole) and knit until it's as long as you want it!Terri H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10264072529085864513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115038.post-21116461708686955132009-12-01T01:47:42.159-05:002009-12-01T01:47:42.159-05:00Hi this is beautiful.

The stitch can be tightened when you weave in the ends.

There are ...Hi Priya; I'd be happy to try to help. There are different ways of making a keyhole, but the method you're using for this scarf is: work the scarf to the point where you want your keyhole. Work the first half of the stitches and stop. Just leave the working yarn hanging there. Place the next half of the stitches on a holder (I use one that looks like a big safety pin, but you can use anything--even a spare needle--that keeps the stitches securely out of the way). Slip the stitches as if to purl one at a time onto the holder, and stop. Forget them for now. Turn your work and go back to your first half of stitches. Work only those stitches for the depth you want your keyhole, 2 inches or so, and stop. Break your yarn and place those stitches on a holder, slipping them one at a time like you did before. Go to the set of stitches waiting down there. Attach your yarn to begin a new row. You can either work the stitches directly from the holder or slip them onto a needle. Work those stitches until they are the same length as the first set. On the next row, work across the second set of stitches, then across the first set (again, either directly from the holder or slipped back onto a needle), and your scarf is back in one piece. Knit on until the scarf is the length you want it (I like around 36" for a keyhole scarf, but you can make yours longer...just start the keyhole a few inches later so it balances out).<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps...feel free to post or e-mail me (thdx333[ART]gmail[DART]com.Terri H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10264072529085864513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115038.post-864633628818379492009-01-05T18:18:00.000-05:002009-01-05T18:18:00.000-05:00I'm somewhat of a beginner knitter but I'm learnin...I'm somewhat of a beginner knitter but I'm learning fast and have enjoyed making a number of scarves and a hat and now am looking for a challenge but I'm really stumped by the directions for a keyhole scarf, I don't really understand using the stitch holder, I can't picture the directions in my mind and can't find any videos online (including youtube).<BR/>Can you help?Priya, Prior, Pyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12790090459071853290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115038.post-46095372859872995982007-04-30T10:33:00.000-04:002007-04-30T10:33:00.000-04:00Terri that turned out beautiful!
