hat pattern, slouchy eyelet hat, slouchy hat | in design, patterns, ravelry Friday, January 28, 2011 at 11:14AM | Breean Elyse I've received many inquiries about my Rasta Neckwarmer pattern from Malabrigo Book Three. Most of them are regarding the buttonhole bindoff and button placement. I figured I'd write this post in order to illustrate how to finish the neckwarmer.
The pattern consists of a very simple construction - it's basically like knitting a wide, short scarf. The buttonholes are created during the bindoff row - not before or after.
The buttonholes are created within each yarn over section of the bindoff. Here is an illustration of what the bindoff and button placement should look like:
Please note - the neckwarmer shown only has 3 buttons, whereas the pattern is written for 4 smaller buttons. If you follow the pattern correctly, there will be 4 buttonholes worked across the bindoff edge.
I hope this illustration has helped everyone! Please let me know if you still have questions!
Also, sorry for the fuzzy iphone photos!

The French Braid Cowl will be one pattern of a collection that I'm releasing just in time for Malabrigo March. The patterns will be available for individual purchase, as well as bundled together as an e-book.
A few of the patterns for this collection are currently being test knit by a bevy of awesome knitters. You can track their progress in the test knitting thread of the BreeanElyse group on Ravelry.
I have long admired Elaine's projects (yarnsnob on Ravelry), and thought she might like my new designs, so I sent her a message on Ravelry asking if she'd like to be a tester. To my amazement, she agreed and speedily went to work this past weekend - and is now over the halfway point in finishing her French Braid Cowl project!
She's also posted some beautiful pictures of her WIP on her blog - GORGEOUS. Thanks Elaine!
