The last of the crochet hats and scarf sets were adorned with buttons made from trees on our property. Our Russian Olive, Lilac, and Mountain Ash tree branch trimmings produced lovely buttons. We also used antler horn tips to adorn another hat and scarf but I forgot to take a photo. The tips cannot be used for woodworking projects by my husband and are usually just waste. We hope to expand our button production and ideas for next year. I made some of the buttons moveable by having another button on the back of the front button. This works well with the open stitch pattern on some of these and allows for choices in how to drape and secure the scarf.
Time to start finding more patterns for next year's projects!
