I made this cowl using approximately 150g (255m) of Aran weight yarn, and I used Bergere de France Recycline and a 5mm crochet hook. This pattern can easily be adapted to use a double knit yarn, just make your foundation chain longer to make up the length and do a few more rows to make it wider. You will also need three medium sized buttons of your choice

Stitches used are (UK terms) Chain, Double Crochet (DC) and Trebles (Tr)
Turn your work after each row so you are working back and forth along the rows.

The cowl (unbottoned and laid flat) measures approximately 80cm long by 25cm wide.

This is a super speedy pattern repeat and can be adapted very easily for blankets.
