This particular project is from Coco Knits, they called it the Fear of Commitment Cowl because of all the ways you can wear it. I'm showing two different styles but they have half a dozen chic ways to keep warm with this beautiful little gadget.
The whole trick is the button. It's not a regular, stay-put button but two buttons linked together with elastic string so that you can wiggle it through the knitted stitches and hold your scarf in place in various fashionable ways. I'm showing a picture below because it kind of took me a bit to picture what the directions were saying.I didn't have any toggle buttons on hand so I'm rather proud of my little artsy hack here made out of Sculpey clay and the end of a paperclip. Instant toggle button. I'm like the MacGyver of knitting.

Thanks. I never would of thought of doing a button that way. I think I'll try it on one of my crochet projects.
Love it. Go McGyver, Go!
You're so talented! I wonder how difficult it is to teach yourself to knit or crochet? I've always wanted to try it, but it seems so hard. Are there books with detailed instructions or do I need someone to show me?

Even my 9-year-old chuckled...I didn't know he knew who MacGyver was. Your blog looks great, I'm jealous.
That is very ingenious (both the original idea and your adaptation)!

I'm not debating with you on that count. :) Knit on!
Beautiful and love the gray!
I love this scarf! I used to knit a lot - I miss it. This could just inspire me to take it up again.
Hi Michelle thank you so much for the Stumble today. I appreciate that!! I really like this scarf and hope that if I send this link to my MIL she will make me one. Also the new look to your site is wonderful, it really gives me that Alaska feel, so homey and refreshing! Have a great night.

what a fabulous way to secure a scarf - even though I don't knit, I do have a bunch of scarves - I need to get me a toggle button!!
I just love it~! I'm forwarding your email to my mother. I want one~!
I crochet and she knits.
Ok, "I'm like the MacGyver of Knitting" is like the best comment ever.
PS: that scarf is neat-I might have to try that one. I've been on a knitting hiatus for a while. . .
PPS: It was good to finally meet you at Blissdom
