The Yarn That Is Perfect for This Cowl Pattern

Most of you know that I love neutrals so this color choice of Lion Brand Yarn Vanna’s Choice was a little out of the box for me, but I am so happy I took the leap!

I think this color will be an awesome contrast against the snowy days that are ahead and can be worn for Valentine’s Day since it’s a perfect shade of pink.

Finish This Cowl Two Different ways!

One of the special things about this particular crochet cowl is that is has 2 different options for finishing & attaching the buttons. Both methods are explained below with instruction & pictures. I hope you enjoy this crochet cowl pattern and if you have any questions, feel free to comment or message me.

Keep on reading on down for the full, FREE pattern!

Happy Crocheting Friends!

    your link for the coconut buttons takes us to 1 inch buttons instead of 1/2″ buttons. Which do you use for this pattern? I already have the 1 inch buttons from your Andy Cowl/scarf pattern.

      Hi Elaine,
      I used the 1/2 inch ones but you could use the 1 inch buttons instead and just put 4 or 5 on instead of the called for 7. I will fix that link now.
