Buddlings Compagne is the companion to Woolly’s Buddlings Hat pattern. Featuring short row colourwork and worked sideways in panels, this pattern will love just about any yarn combination you care to throw together.

Within each pattern you’ll find instructions for a Regular Cowl, an Over-Sized Cowl, and a Scarf. Two sizes are provided for each, and given their construction, they’re highly customisable and you’ll find notes included for that.
