Free Chunky Cowl with Buttons Pattern

I finished this cowl on the weekend and you can find both the matching cowl and headband in my Etsy shop.




It is SUPER soft, made from alpaca and wool blend (40%, 40%), and I just love how the ribbing makes the color pop out!

I have included the pattern that I used to create this original design. The PDF is available here.
