FO Friday: Gary's Cowl

This week I designed a cowl with spiffy buttons. I made it for my friend Gary who goes to Berkeley, so I figured he needed a little something to keep the old windpipe warm from the nippy weather up there.

I failed to take proper pictures of all the angles/ different ways the cowl can be worn, so instead I'll just present you with these silly pictures and hope they give you a good chuckle.

"Ah-derpy-derp."

One of my favorite construction elements in knitted pieces are cables- cozy, braidy, chunky cables! You can kind of see the big cable that runs around the length of the cowl in the two pictures above (I promise I will knit another one of these and take better, not rushed pictures!). Here's a closer look:

Mmm, cables :)

Since this cowl has buttons I figured I could wear it sort of like a little cape if I unbuttoned one of the buttons:

I think it gives more of a drapey, feminine look to it this way, don't you think?
However, if you are male, like Gary is, you can use both buttons and relish in the fact that you permeate a grand amount of masculinity with your fancy buttoned cowl ;D

That's all for now folks, check back later for a pattern and updated photos! Tootles :)

"Jazmine, wake up! You have things to knit!"
