This great cowl pattern can be found right here and it was made with just one of these...
... an 8mm hook and a couple of buttons I salvaged from an old pair of boots!
'Simon' can be worn in many ways...
The buttons can be fastened anywhere...
Head over to Jennifer's blog to get the pattern and get cozy this winter!

That looks so cosy and sort of easy to knit.
Cripes, what size hook did you use, bet it grows really quickly... I think you look as snug as a bug in a rug in your Simon! :)
It came together really quick - done in about an hour - and I'm not a quick crocheter :)
I always admire crochet and knitting as I gave up years ago, but the question that is bugging me is why Simon???
Love the wool and colour you've used. Plus the way you can wear it several ways!

This looks so snuggly and warm! I love it!
Have a great week

Brilliant - three for the price of one!
That looks lovely and warm.
Very versatile- and so cosy looking!
I love Simon, he's so versatile and looks so snuggly and warm. The buttons are the perfect finishing touch.
What an amazing cowl and so many different ways to hang it. Looks nice and cosy.
Its lovely, like the way you can wear it in more than one way too
Oh, I love that you've called your cowl Simon! So funny :-) and he looks so snug x
Looks brill! Even I am thinking about giving it a go, and I must be the world's worst crocheter ;-)
looks great - ive quite fancied making a cowl for a few weeks now as they look very snuggly!
Looks snuggly. Why Simon?
I only recently got into crocheting, but it's so much faster than knitting isn't it - I'm converted! This is a fabulous piece and that elusive combination of cosy and classy! :)
So charming!!! Love the colour! Thanks so much for sharing.I'd love for you to visit my blog.
Happy weekend!

I am a total newbie crocheter and that was one of the first things I crocheted. Super easy. You look adorable in it btw. Oh hi new here. Found you through the monday link up. I look forward to reading more here in the future.
Oh, I've just got it. Simon Cowl. Bit slow today.
I love the fact you've recycled your buttons from your boots. Your 'Simon' Cowl is lovely. Much nicer than the grumpy one on the tv. Have a lovely week.

THIS is the reason I need to learn to crochet!! I absolutely love it!
Thanks so much for linking up at Artsy Corner. You were featured today, so come grab a button :)

So cool - and so versatile! I'm not really a big fan of scarves as I never quite know how to squish them into my jacket, so a cowl would be an idea! Ha ha, and I love that you named him Simon ;-)
