Buttoned Plaid Cowl Free Crochet Pattern
Buttoned Plaid Cowl Free Crochet Pattern
Plaid just seems to be the best pattern when you are looking for something rustic, cozy, and
stylish. The Buttoned Plaid Cowl adds a nice pop of color to an outfit without being too bulky.
I decided it was time to work on a project for the men in my life. I had just finished the
Constellation beanies and wanted to make something special for my husband.

information about them at the end of this post.
My husband is not someone who thinks of adding accessories to his outfit. He is all about being
practical. Boots, jeans, shirt and he is done.
It starting to get cold in the evening and I wanted to give him something he could just throw on
to fight off the chill.
He loves the buttoned plaid cowl because it is light and warm. Plus it can be styled in so many
different ways. This buttoned plaid cowl would make a perfect gift.
When referring to the color in the pattern I will be labeling the colors as Light, Medium and
Dark.
