Square'd Space

I love this cowl.  I love the squares and I love wearing this folded in half.   This piece works up so quickly that you will feel as if it took you 5 minutes to create it.

Also, This is another one of those very forgiving patterns where you can use worsted weight yarn, chunky yarn or even 2 & 3 strands of yarn together.  Just use recommended hook size for the yarn you choose.

The cream colored cowl is made using Loops & Threads Cozy Wool.  The red colored cowl is made using Red Heart w/Love yarn.

I added 2 buttons to the cowls, but honestly, you really only need one. If you have a giant button, use it, the squares will accommodate it.

Materials:
*Chunky Yarn
*P (11.5 mm) Hook
*2" Button(s)
*Scissors
*Yarn Needle

Pattern:  
*Row 1 --  22 Dc Chainless Foundation
(Ch. 22 plus 2 chains.  Dc into 3rd from hook and ea. ch. across)
*Row 2 - Turn work, Ch.2.  Dc into 4th Ch. from hook.  1 Dc into ea. of the next 2 stitches.  (you will have 3 double crochets including turning chain).  Ch.2.  Skip 2 Stitches.  1Dc into ea. of the next 5 Stitches.  Ch.2, skip 2 stitches.  Dc into ea. of the next 5 Stitches.  Ch.2, Dc into ea. into last 3 Stitches.
*Row 3 - Turn work. Ch.2.  Double crochet into 4th Ch. from hook.  1Dc into next  5 Stitches.  Ch. 2.  1Dc ea. into last 3 Stitches.
Rows 4-36 (or desired length) Repeat row 3.  Ch.1. Bind off, sew in ends.
**Add Buttons.

**If you do a chainless foundation, I think it looks pretty to add a final row of HDc's before binding off.
