Oh!! This is pretty!! I just got the Interweave Crochet magazine last night & was admiring this neck cozy. I really like them. Fun!! Anyway....I like the color you chose for the body. What color will you accent it with? Are you keeping this one for yourself or will it be a gift? I see you are in Scottland so I'm not sure where to get buttons like that there. I could look here in the US & let you know what I find. Let me know if you need help, ok?

Thankyou Hachiko yes for myself and have bought similar yarn for a matching Beret for myself.

If you dont mind checking for buttons or where I can buy online Hachiko.

Where in US are you .

I have had many a lovely holiday in USA we just love it.

As for the edging not sure yet it is a big hank of yarn and maybe enough to complete but might be too much.

If not think to compliment a nice pale lilac .

I have only the rectangle finished, and I am modifying the pattern a bit. I love how the several lacy borders layer like the picture--but the instructions are only for enough inches to get it around your neck once. So either the model is wearing more than one, or they made the warmer super long and wrapped it several times. I'm making mine super long. The main body of it is black and the border will be a creamy white, and I'll have pearlesque buttons for it. When I start the border I'll put up a pic. Right now it's just a loonnnggg strip of boring black. :) And I'm from south Oklahoma
