I modified the "Buttoned-Up Cowl" neck warmer pattern to make it easier. Plus, I don't like the big buttons in the original pattern. The pattern is from the Michael's Stores book "All Wrapped Up". I knitted this in less than two days. I used size 13 circular needles and bulky yarn: Bernat Alpaca Natural Blends "ebony" - more like charcoal grey. It's a 70% acrylic / 30% Alpaca blend.
I used a 100-stitch pattern, but next time I think I will use 80 stitches.
