Cast on 36 stitches and work in a k1 p1
seed stitch for an inch ending on a wrong
side row. Continue in seed stitch for 4 sts,
place marker, knit row one of the chart
below, place marker and finish last four sts
in seed stitch.
Continue starting with 4 sts in seed stitch
then work the next pattern row.
I would suggest knitting until the cowl is
18'' in length to give you a nice snug fit
to keep you warm on a cold winter day.
If you prefer a looser fitting cowl, do as

When you’re ready to do the buttonholes,
stop the chart after row 8 and re-establish
your seed stitch. Knit half an inch in
seed stitch then place your buttonholes
accordingly.
Row 1: Knit 4 sts in seed stitch pattern,
then bind off three stitches, knit 10 more
sts in seed stitch and bind off three, knit
9 sts in seed stitch pattern, bind off three
and finish last four sts in seed stitch.
Row 2: Continue in seed stitch pattern
until you reach the bound off areas and
cast on two sts using the backwards loop
method.
Work in seed stitch for another half inch
and bind off. Make sure you re-establish
the seed stitch after the buttonholes
properly or your seed stitch will turn into a
rib stitch.
Now all you have left to do is sew on
your buttons!
This cowl perfectly covers the space your jacket
