welcome to my last blog post of this week!
finally i finished the cowl!
it is made of two neutral shades of acrylic yarn, beige and off-white, two different stitch patterns and it has buttonholes and transparent buttons. it can be worn in multiple ways.
most photos have failed, but here you can see the pictures that -i think- are presentable.
this week i also made another version of this scarf, only longer, in a different color with gray stripes made of trebles and also a gray edge. it is similar to the other scarf and very soft and warm to wear.
that’s it for today and this week and then one other blog post next week, that will be the last one this year, about my christmas decoration.

Hello Brenda B.
Thanks for stopping by.
I have no pattern used or written myself, but if you like to make a similar cowl I have a few tips for you.
The main part I crocheted 2dctog, ch 1, 2 dctog, ch 1, and so on, this back and forth. The open work stitch pattern at the back of the cowl is this pattern: https://elisabethandree.wordpress.com/2013/11/01/stitch-pattern-open-work-with-clusters/
At one end, I made buttonholes.
Along the edges I crocheted alternately 1 sc, 1ch, 1 sc, 1 ch, except along the edge of the openwork part, there I worked one row of the openwork pattern.
That is it, I don’t have more info but maybe you can use the pictures as you guideline?!
Thanks again!

Wow, that’s great … very versatile! Wear it one way walking to the office, then another in the office, then another way to happy hour. Great!
