CORRECTIONS: (applied Dec 11, 2012)NOTES:
The Cowl is knit as a simple rectangle, all in Garter stitch, with four buttonholes. Two buttons are sewed to the end of the Cowl opposite 2 of the buttonholes, allowing the Cowl to be buttoned in various creative ways. You can choose which 2 buttonholes to sew your buttons opposite from – we loved our choice of the first and the third buttonhole. The Cowl is designed with the option to button it in creative ways. You can even slip the button through 2 of the buttonholes to create a dimensional fold in the knitting.
Next (Buttonhole) Row: Knit 2, *knit 3, knit 2 stitches together, yarnover, repeat from * 3 more times (so that 4 buttonholes have been made), knit 4 5

GAUGE:
About 9 stitches = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter stitch (knit every row).
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

COWL Cast on 27 stitches. Work in Garter stitch (knit every row) for 2 rows. On the next row, you will make 4 buttonholes. Each buttonhole is made by knitting 2 stitches together, then doing a yarnover. The stitch count will not change. Next (Buttonhole) Row: Knit 2, *knit 3, knit 2 stitches together, yarnover, repeat from * 3 more times (so that 4 buttonholes have been made), knit 5. Next Row: Knit all stitches and all yarnovers. Continue in Garter stitch until all but about 1 yard (1 meter) of yarn has been used. Bind off.
FINISHING Thread yarn ends into blunt needle and weave into the stitches of the Cowl. With sewing needle and thread, sew buttons across end of Cowl opposite 2 of the buttonholes.
Buttoned Cowl Reviewed by kathy anneken on 2013-02-02
Love this pattern, very easy and quick.After reading previous review, I knitted one full skein and it was still a little too snug to fit around my neck. Ideal for a smaller person.Definitely knitting another one tonight, making it longer with two skeins. Very stylish especially with accentuating buttons. Thanks for the pattern !
