This is an EASY pattern! It is just ONE CROCHETED RECTANGLE! There are two simple pleats and a button that attaches via a chain loop, so you don’t even have to worry about making a button hole -- a SIMPLE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION that creates a VERY unique DRAPE and look. You won’t see another cowl-scarf that looks like this one!
