I had one skein of this yarn that I was longing to make something with, so I found a stitch pattern that worked well and just kept going until I ran out of yarn! I was going to seam it up to create an cowl but then I thought “why not put buttons on the end?” So I did. I love how it turned out – so soft and warm with a good feel to it. Having buttons gives it much more flexibility than a closed loop. I’ve tried it on several different ways and can’t decide which one I like best.
