Looking for a last minute Christmas gift? This cowl worked in Super Bulky Yarn works up in an hour! Make a pair of matching fingerless mittens using my free pattern and you have a precious pair. This cowl uses only single crochet stitches and requires only basic crochet skills.
I am using super bulky yarn in a crochet pattern for the first time and really enjoyed it. I used Wool Ease yarn from Lion Brand. They come in a range of lovely colors. If you are looking for a cheaper option, Michaels in house brand would be a good substitute. The gorgeous wooden buttons were bought from JoAnn Fabrics and makes the perfect accent. The bigger the button, the better!
When I made my first try of this pattern, the buttons were just for embellishment and were not used for closure. Then I thought it might mess up your hair when you pull it down your neck and thought of making the buttons functional. The crochet pattern uses a braid made with four strips. It involves repeating the same two steps and is a no-brainer once you get the hang of it.

ReplyDeleteThis is lovely and so easy! I love working with Wool Ease and have made several scarves and hats. I don't consider myself a beginner but I still do have trouble imagining what something should like when done. Would you please consider posting a pic of what the ends of the braided straps should like when they are crochet together? Also, pic five seems to show the button-hole side also having the buttons attached? Am sure I can figure out but a pic would be nice! Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeletePic 5 is of the button band itself. Both the button hole band and button band look the same except for the button holes. Does that help ?
DeleteI made this today. Love the pattern, easy to follow. I did not use chunky yarn though and i am not satisfied with the results :( It came out too narrow.
ReplyDeleteYou could have tried holding 2 strands together.
