Buttoned Collar / Cowl "Malou", knitting pattern

A buttoned cowl / collar is a nice fashionable variety and a complement to accessories like shawls, cowls, infinity scarfs and co!
And whether worn over or under: buttoned collar / cowl MALOU warms exactly where the coat or jacket ends. The three-dimensional WAVE PATTERN is - as in the matching wrist warmers MALOU - potentially addictive!! The collar is a funny and quick knit and the pattern is both, charted and written! And as a little “goodie”: You can use this pattern to knit a buttoned cowl / collar, a scarf or an infinity scarf and the measurements are easy to adjust for any size.
