'Halstuch' (scarf) is made up of 'Hals' (neck) and 'Tuch' (cloth). So it refers to a piece of fabric worn around the neck.
Im Herbst trägt er oft ein dickes Halstuch.
In autumn, he often wears a thick scarf.
With this meaning, 'Halstuch' (scarf) is often used with verbs such as 'tragen' (to wear), 'binden' (to tie), and 'umlegen' (to put on). A typical phrase is 'sich ein Halstuch um den Hals binden' (to tie a scarf around one's neck).

Before the walk, she put a scarf around her young son's neck.
