This little neck warmer has a moss stitch border that is set off from the stockinette with eyelets. The neck warmer's button forms the center of the removable giant moss stitch flower. 

I worked this version in two colors of Rowan Wool Cotton and one strand of Crystal Palace Kid Merino, all stranded together. But the pattern works well in any yarn or combination of yarns that create a gauge of about 4 sts per inch. It is a great stash buster, since the neck warmer itself takes only about 100 yards of yarn, and the flower could be worked in any other little coordinating bits that you have hiding in your stash.
