Almost Morning "Collared" and Buttoned Cowl

I went to a sheep festival a few years ago. Which one, I couldn't tell you.

But I bought some stuff. Go figure, right?

The yarn for this, I bought on clearance, and it was a dream to work with.

Soft, bright purple, bulky.

The pattern... the pattern I had troubles with. I've since misplaced the copy of the pattern I purchased, so I can't tell you who it was from, except that it was called Collared and Buttoned Cowl.

The cowl body was very similar to other cowls I have made in the past. I bought it because I was intrigued by the collar.

I, however, must have done the collar wrong, because it did not lay flat, and pulled at the body of the cowl. So I ripped it out!

And then it languished, and languished, and languished some more!

But now I've revisited it. I've weaved in the ends, added buttons, and blocked it. Viola! Enjoy!
