This pattern is suitable for beginners and detailed, step-by-step instructions for assembling this project with accompanying photos are included.

Gauge is not critical for this pattern.

This cowl/neckwarmer was knit by holding together one strand each of Classic Alpaca DK weight yarn (from the Alpaca Yarn Co.) in Fall Foliage and Burnished Gold. One 50g ball of each color is required.

I also sell this as a kit, which includes the two 50g balls of yarn, two 1.25 inch handmade cedar buttons, and the pattern. The kit sells for $19 in my Etsy store http://www.alpacayarnshop.etsy.com

18% of my sales will be donated to local charities.
