Just got this off the needles...
It is the "Chunky Button-up Neckwarmer-Cowl" pattern, Ravelry Link Here
(Be sure to check out the pattern too, the designer shows at least six different ways to wear it!)
I really liked the concept of this neckwarmer because the buttons make it very customizable for the wearer. Such a simple design and many, many different options. I didn't knit it with anyone in mind, but I still think it will make a lovely gift for someone on my holiday list this year.
I did some serious stash busting with this one combining some pretty Homespun left over from a shawl and some lilac Caron's Simply Soft Eco...I was kind of worried while working on it because I thought my yarn choices were going to make the fabric too bulky, but it proved to be a good choice because it yielded a warm and soft drape.
...finished it off with some mother of pearl buttons, which picked up the purple hues from the yarn...happy with this project!
Where can I find this pattern for the FO Chunky Neckwarmer? I am just learning to knit and this looks like it might not be too hard... Your post has a line tht says "RAV link here" but it doesn't have an actual link.... thankyou. butters720@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteFixed the link...it will take to the spot where you can find the pattern...hope that helps! :)
DeleteI'm just a beginner. Do you make button holes or just slip the buttons through a hole in the scarf. If you make button holes how does one go about that?
ReplyDeleteIt's been such a long time since I made it, but I'm pretty sure the decorative eyelets made the buttonholes. You can make button holes by doing a yarn over or two, casting off a few stitches and then casting on in the next row, etc.
DeleteHope you are enjoying your knitting adventures!!
