Buffalo Check Cowl Crochet Pattern

Creating this Buffalo Check pattern is easier than you might think! Grab three colors, your H hook and you’ll have this Buffalo Check Cowl Crochet Pattern whipped up in no time.

True story: I fully intended to make this big, buffalo check blanket scarf, but I ran out of yarn. I was planning on going to get more, but then I thought about how I could make the current size work… and ta-da! The buttoned cowl was born! I like this better because it’s not as heavy and bulky as a full blanket scarf would have been, but it still gives that cute bulky look.

This pattern is available as an inexpensive, clearly formatted, PDF instant download in my Etsy Shop or Ravelry Shop!

In the next row you will make the buttonholes

Do not fasten off

Next is the border. I wove in all my ends before starting the border.

Ch 1, turn, sc in each stitch and ch across, (sc, ch 2, sc) in the corner, *sc evenly across side to next corner, (sc, ch 2, sc) in corner* repeat from * to * around the entire piece, join to first sc with sl st

Fasten off, weave in the ends.

Lay out your piece so the buttonholes are on the bottom left. Sew on buttons to the right along the bottom. I sewed one in the middle of the last 3 burgundy squares. This is the direction you want it to be when you put it on and button it.
