Finishing

- After you work the last ST, cut off the yarn leaving about a 12-inch long tail. Pull the yarn tail through the last loop on the hook.
- Thread the yarn needle with the yarn tails and weave them through the crochet stitches back and forth until the yarn feels secure. Snip off the excess yarn.

How to Sew a Button on Your Crochet Cowl
- Adding a button to your crochet neck warmer is the perfect finishing touch—it adds both function and style. Here’s how to do it:
What You'll Need:
- 1 button (size of your choice; I used a ___ size button that complements the yarn)
- Needle with a large enough eye for your yarn or matching sewing thread
- Scissors
- Optional: Stitch marker or safety pin
Steps:
- Try It On for Placement: Wrap the neck warmer around your neck and decide where you'd like it to fasten. Use a stitch marker or safety pin to mark where the button should go.
- Thread Your Needle: If your yarn fits through the eye of a needle, you can use the same yarn to attach the button. Otherwise, use matching sewing thread for a cleaner look.
Sew the Button On:
- Insert the needle from the back of the fabric to the front, through one of the buttonholes.
- Go down through the opposite buttonhole, pulling the yarn/thread snug.
- Repeat several times (usually 4–6 passes) to secure the button.
- For 4-hole buttons, sew through the opposite two holes in the same way.
Secure the Yarn or Thread:
- On the backside of your cowl, tie a small knot or weave in the ends securely with your yarn needle or tapestry needle.
- Test the Fit: Make sure the button fits snugly through one of the gaps in your crochet stitches (no buttonhole is needed thanks to the open texture of crochet!).
