Diagonal Box Stitch Cowl/Scarf v1 -- Zoe's Method

This Project is done to test the crochet pattern that I wrote. This is a small scarf. It is funny that I always started with making a cowl but I ended up making a scarf instead. I don't like the idea of seaming the scalloped edge of the scarf because I think the scallop edge is pretty. Also, because the scarf is small or narrow at the neck, it is better to leave the front neck open.

FO--Diagonal Box Stitch Cowl or Scarf

I just finished another Diagonal Box Stitch Cowl.  This can be worn as a short scarf or a cowl.  My intention was to make it as a cowl but decided to leave the sides open so it can be worn in different ways.  Please note the scalloped edge which I  prefer over the straight edge.  Hair accessories made of plastic with no sharp metal components can be used instead of  buttons to close the front and wear it as a cowl.

Wear it like this:
