Pattern Testing for Petals Crafts and Me, this time it’s a crochet cowl. She also asked if it could be made in some yarn that could be suggested for the pattern given the original yarn she made it with is no longer available. I considered a few yarns and in the end I thought Patons 100% Cotton yarn would be perfect for this pattern and I’m happy to say it’s a great choice!

This cowl is easy to make and I love the end result, especially making those cute little cupcakes and then adding buttons on the top to represent cherries (I think). Sewing on the buttons can take a bit of time, I used a needle and matching cotton thread but it’s definately worth the time spent . I think the buttons I used might be a little big as I was working with what I could get locally but I still think it looks great!

I can highly recommend making this cowl and if that’s the only project your working on it could easily be made within a few days or less (all depends on how long you spend on it each day). I think you’ll be happy with the results and it makes a great gift or maybe even a treat for you!
