I need some help figuring out which button set to use for the Broomstick Lace Cowl, which is going to be Christmas gift for a middle-aged woman…
Option 1: Leather Buttons
Option 2: Stars in Gold tone
Option 3: Zodiac Bronze tone
Option 4: Silvertone
I’m leaning towards the Zodiac ones….
Please put your pick in the comments!!

It’s actually quite easy. It’s Broomstick Lace. One row is putting loops on a “broomstick” (dowel in my case), and then one row back doing crochet stitches (singles in this case) back along it.
I really like the effect and will be making a more earthy toned one for myself.
And the bonus is it’s fast.

Disregard my question, on closer inspection I can tell it’s not easy.

My personal preference is the leather covered buttons. Classy and understated but the mismatch gives it a current, casual flair. I love it, is it an easy pattern? I have been trying to crochet a scarf for the very first time. I’m not very good at it so far. LOL
