Kaitlyn Cowl Crochet Pattern

This cowl has been published on Ravelry for quite some time. Hope those who don't use Ravelry enjoy this free crochet pattern.

Buttons on the Kaitlyn Cowl allow it to be worn in a multiple of ways. Twist the cowl once and button to make a moebius. Leave out the twist to make an infinity scarf. Leave off the buttons and wrap as desired. Three simple stitch patterns work up quickly and look elegant in a kettle dyed fingering weight yarn.
