How many skeins of yarn were used?
Hi Cory, I use about 250 gram
Are the buttons just for decoration? Also are ends sewn together so cowl has to go over your head rather than using buttons to fasten
Button , they are just decorate, yes the cowl sew end together and when you wear it have to go over the head.
If I am understanding the pattern correctly, you do not skip any stitches at the beginning of the rows. You go into the first stitch correct? And each row ends with a slip stitch and turning chain.
yes you correct Sharon.
