DOTS AND SQUIGGLES ASSIGNED POOL COWL

This is a fun small project to use as an introduction to assigned pooling or to use up the leftover yarn from another assigned pooling project. It combines two assigned pooling stitches—a bobble stitch (dots) and a double-elongated stitch (squiggles). It’s knit flat so that the squiggles are vertical, and there’s some room for creativity here. It includes making small buttonholes and sewing on buttons. If this is the first time you have made buttonholes in knitting, don’t worry. These small buttonholes are quite simple to make.
