Free Crochet Pattern Suitable for Beginners
 |
| Barley Twist Button Scarf |
If you are looking for a fast and easy crochet project with almost instant gratification my free crochet pattern for this chunky button scarf or cowl will suit you down to the ground. I've included full instructions and a step by step guide to the stitches used. Although I am based in the UK I use US crochet terms.
Now I've learned the basic stitches in crocheting I find myself experimenting and came up with this cute and cosy cowl. I have seen lots of patterns for crochet into the back loop and wondered what it would look like when worked into the front loop - this was the result. The joy of this stitch is you don't need to make button holes as the weave is loose enough to take buttons. You can adjust the size of your cowl by increasing the number of stitches in your chain across and how many rows you crochet. There are also different ways to drape your scarf, use the buttons in different places to create different looks.
