The Earth Fairy Button Cowl is an elegant project that uses a special skein of yarn. Rows of eyelets are finished off with a pretty open picot edging and topped with two lovely buttons. This cowl is versatile and can be worn in lots of different ways, fastening it with one or two of the buttons. No need to work button holes in either, the eyelets and edging work just fine. The Earth Fairy Button Cowl is quick to stitch up, making it a perfect gift idea too!

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, makes things easier! I'm in the process of adding it to all of my patterns too. :)
Deletewould also be nice for a print preview so you aren't surprised when it tries to print 11 pages......beautiful scarf,tho!
DeleteI love this one, the colors are beautiful also! Thanks for the pattern ! Syl
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've been saving this skein for something special. :)
DeleteThanks to you I've got so many stylish cowls plus you've got me crocheting and knitting again!!
ReplyDeletePrint button is much appreciated.
Awesome! So glad you like the print button too!
Deletewhat a great pattern. the yarn you used is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty new to crochet. I was wondering what the "weight" would be of that yarn so I can look for something similar. thanks
Thanks so much! The cowl is made with aran weight yarn...so glad you are crocheting! :)
DeleteI LOVE this pattern! I was given some amazingly beautiful Malabrigo Rios yarn as a gift. I want to make a cowl with at least a hat to coordinate. What would you suggest for a pattern?
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE Rios!!! Be sure to share on Facebook or Ravelry, I'd love to see it!
DeleteGorgeous do you know where I can find that yarn?
ReplyDeleteYes! I got mine at a local yarn shop, but I did see lots of colors in stock at the Yarn Barn yesterday:

Hope that helps!!
beautiful - and the yarn is lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!
DeleteLook forward to your postings:) Always a surprise! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYay! Thanks for your kind comment! So nice to get great feedback :)
DeleteWhat size buttons did u use? This cowl is beautiful btw! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I think they are 1 inch wide. You can really use whatever you like as long as they fit through the holes, I tested mine first. Hope that helps! :)
DeleteThat ... is gorgeous !! I would love to make this for my daughter - and for a close friend - both of whom would adore this mix of colours. Am I right in saying that this particular yarn being hand dyed is 'non repeatable' colour-wise ? Also - I am in Portugal, my daughter is in the UK - and I can't find much of this particular yarn anywhere :( Not even on ebay ! Have you any suggestions that might help? [ I checked out the Yarn Barn - but they didn't seem to have it either ... ] Many thanks for your help ... I will keep looking in the meantime .. and try to find a similar 'mix' of colours !
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! Another place that has gorgeous hand painted yarn (and a ton of variety) is Knit Picks. They have great customer service too. :)
DeleteThanks, I tried a local shop and found a yarn that was brown/black/brown/dark green - which met with approval from my daugher !! I made it up in two nights !! I have almost finished a second .. in muddy shades of purple/dark green [ will suit my friend SO well - these colours always look great on her!] but it was heavier yarn. I found I had to use less chain to make it narrower and a huge hook. It's a bit heavy .. but it's VERY warm and as she's back in ScotlandI am sure she'll love it !!
DeleteI love this cowl. Thanks for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteThanks, and you are so welcome!
DeleteThanks for this beautiful, I love it and will probably make it for my sister. I would like to confirm if your please note, note indicates we are not allowed to sell any items made from your patterns is that correct?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Beautiful! Just made this in a medium weight single strand yarn. Lo and behold my Toconao Multy #419 arrived in the mail today! BTW your buttons are amazing as well, do you get them locally or online? Thanks for sharing your talent!

Thanks for this beautiful pattern. Any chance you will doing a YouTube tutorial on it? I am new to crocheting and find your tutorials VERY helpful. Would love to see a demo of this one as I am a little confused at how Row 2 ends and Row 3 begins and again for end of Row 3 going into Row 4. Would be very grateful for a demo. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteWas there a reply to this comment? I am having the same trouble. Love the pattern and would like to get a few made! Appreciate any feedback I can get! Thanks!
DeleteI too am having a terrible time trying to make this work. Any ideas??

DeleteWas there a reply to these comments, I am having the same trouble!!!
DeleteThank you for the beautiful pattern. I am also struggling with the transition from Row 2 to Row 3. I start with 23 stitches in Row 1 which works perfectly for Row 2. My interpretation of Row 3 results in 22 stitches - which does not work for the 2nd round of Row 2 - which needs 23 stitches. what am I doing wrong? in the interim I have added a dc in the 2nd stitch of Row 3.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!
DeleteThanks for the tip!
DeleteCould someone please share the tip. I am having the same trouble.
DeleteThanks so much for this beautiful pattern instruction. I'm making it for my mom. And I'm trying to find a little spring cap that has the same or similar (matching) pattern. I really appreciate your efforts in offering your precious work here. Plz. continue. I'll follow you.
