Buttonhole Neckwarmer

Posted on | September 23, 2011 | 5 Comments

Well, I’ve written another pattern! It’s a lot like my buttonhole scarflet, but I tried to make it more of a polished pattern this time. That and it’s a neckwarmer instead of a scarflet. One of my favorite parts is the heart-shaped button I made for it! I just took one of the wooden branch buttons I made and sanded it until it was heart-shaped. It’s so cute! Anyway, here’s the pattern.

This pattern uses a H hook, Caron simply soft, and a 1″ diameter button.

(Even though the button I used was a heart shape, I compared it to a round button and it’s the equivalent of a 1″ diameter button.)
