I am obsessed with Shawn Torres’ free Cowlorful Cowl pattern. It’s so easy to knit and the outcome is always 100% satisfying. I don’t even know how many I’ve made … but I do know it’s a lot. And pro tip, they sell well at craft shows – people love them for gifting because they’re colorful and unique.
So today I was thinking about how I could spruce up my latest one when I spotted some cat eye buttons in my stash.
Can you guess what’s next? Voila!
I think it’s a fun look and I’m going to keep experimenting, especially with the embroidery. The eyes are pretty purrfect …
If you’re curious, the dragon/cat eyes are available via Amazon (that’s an affiliate link, every penny helps keep the lights on – thank you). They’re the sew-on kind, excellent quality and my pack was $14.99 for 20 pairs.
You can see them in action on my latest chicken hat too …
