Welcome to the 2020 Scarf and Hat of the Month Club!

For this month’s pattern, I have a beautiful button cowl using some Lion Brand Mandala Tweed yarn that Kaylee picked out for me when we went to Michael’s a couple of months ago. I fell in love with the yarn immediately and knew it would make a great scarf. Don’t forget to stop by next week to see the matching hat! Scroll down to check out the FREE crochet pattern for Elli’s Tweed Button Cowl. And for 24 hours only, get a FREE PDF version of this pattern from my Ravelry shop! I hope you enjoy it! Happy Crocheting!
