Half way thru this pattern and it is turning out terrific. I think it is pretty easy just following the instructions one by one and not trying to guess works for me. Thanks for the pattern!

The pattern is actually called " buttons cowl" I think she did a fine job of explaining the pattern!! All cable abbreviations are included in the pattern & there very simple! This cowl was exactly what I was looking for! It reminds me of the 1st cardigan I attempted to knit. My advice Is to read the directions, as a newbie I like to highlight special instruction like how she has you do the buttonholes on row 6 and then on every 12th row there after! What a beautiful pattern for free!! "Easy" doesn't mean the same as "beginner"!!! I love cables, I put them in everything I can but I could def see how a non cable knitter would be a little intimidated but what experience you'd gain!!! Thank You for giving this pattern for free!!

i tried knitting the "easy buttons cowl" and it was anything but. pattern was very poorly written and confusing. i even took the pattern to a local knitting shop and they had a hard time deciphering them. just saying. this should not be called easy.

I am currently knitting this cowl, I was surprised they said it was easy. The only reason I can knit this is because I looked up the LT2 and RT2. Here is the page http://berroco.com/glossary.html. I also found a video on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isJY--558Fc&feature=related. (Exactly how it is described by designer.) Right now I feel like this needs a video all it's own. After I finished the first repeat everything fell into place so I knew exactly where and why what stitches are used. PS: It also doesn't tell you, you are knitting from the bottom up. I knew there was no 13 rows at the top of the cowl so I cut it down to 9.
