Project: Cute as a Button Scarf

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! I wanted to post this before Christmas, but it was a gift for my mother-in-law and I didn't want to spoil the surprise. I knew that I was going to give her a headband for Christmas, but I didn't know if I would knit her a scarf or a cowl to go along with it. I found the pattern for this scarf on the website below.

I liked the look and I also liked the fact that it wouldn't take very long. I only had 5 days to knit it, so I didn't have the time it would take for a more extensive project. When I say 5 days, that means nap time and after bed time. I have a three year old!

I did make the scarf a little wider than what it called for on the site. It called for 14 cast-on stitches and I did 20. I wanted it to be wide enough to sew on my I-cord flower and button.

Great beginner knitting project! Now I have to get back to my knitting. I'm working on a baby blanket for my sister that I LOVE! I will post the link to the pattern and pics of this project later.

Happy Knitting!
