“This pretty little buttoned cowl uses exactly 2 skeins (200 yds) of Jade Sapphire’s 100% cashmere. The design begins with a Celtic Braid from Nicky Epstein’s Knitting on the Edge, then stitches are worked upward from the braid in a combination of seed st and the leaf pattern (which is easy to follow, really!). We placed 2 buttons and crocheted loops for closure. You may require slightly more yarn if you change needles to US 7.
