      Hi Jeannette! Thanks for your question. This pattern was made awhile ago and I would venture to say that the buttons are probably not available anymore. I would try your local craft store for something comparable. Happy Crocheting! – Nicola, Editor

    What does “flo” mean? In Row 4 you indicate Rep row 2, does this mean repeat row 2?

      Hi Linda, flo means first loop only. Rep means repeat. Work Row 4 as written. After you finish Row 4, you should repeat Row 2 as indicated.

    Hi,
    My grand daughter is wanting to learn to crochet a scarf. She is 8 years old and has done a few stitches. Was looking for patterns that would be easy for her.
    Thank you.
