Knitted cowl

I started this cowl last year on holiday in the heat of summer and finished it a few weeks ago, just in time for my friends birthday!

I got the free pattern from Ravelry - a great place to get patterns from - check it out if you haven't been on there.
I can't remember knitting a cable pattern before and I was surprised how easy this one was. I decided I wanted to angle the front something I had seen on Pinterest, so put the buttons along the side rather than the edge. 
The buttons were in my stash and I think they came in a vintage collection I got from Ebay when I was getting them for the wedding.
