This cosy accessory can be worn with a variety of seasonal garments and is guaranteed to keep your neck warm even in the coldest weather. The ingenious stitch pattern creates a double-sided fabric and is pretty straightforward, as it simply combines knit and purl stitches over a 12 row repeat. Then, at each short end of the cowl, a fancy cast-on and cast-off produces a decorative picot edge for added texture and interest.

Requires 3 x 2.5-3cm buttons
