Starlight Rain is a light and airy buttoned cowl designed to use a colorful striping yarn alternated with a solid colorway. Pull in a matching secondary solid colorway to make a nice “frame” to encase the body of the cowl in a cohesive palette. Or, if you’re like me and have a ball of your favorite striped colorway in your yarn stash that has been hiding for years (anyone??), this pattern is also a great way to put those and other remnants to good use.

This cowl is knit flat horizontally. Several button placement options are provided. Depending on the style you choose, you will need one or more 3/4-1” buttons to complete the look.

I styled this cowl using an InstaButton - it gives me the freedom to easily style cowls and scarves in a variety of ways without commitment to a specific button placement.
