Folded Ivy Button Cowl
Talk about a cozy cowl for fall and winter! If you’re a not a big fan of infinity scarves, the folded ivy button cowl may be the neck accessory for you. This cowl buttons and can be made to the length of your choosing or you can follow the suggested length.
The Folded Ivy Button Cowl has some simple textures and depending on the yarn, can be very squishy when finished. No matter the fiber of yarn you use, this cowl is sure to get compliments out in public. Make many to match outfits or have just one to wear with your fall or winter coats.
In this pattern you’ll use single crochets, double crochets, and a cluster stitch (2 DC, CH 2, SC in same stitch) to create the texture and squishiness of the pattern.
