- This technique is a very simple way to put buttonholes in your work. The technique is the same, regardless of the size of buttons you are using and your gauge...you will just want to bind-off/cast-on more stitches for a bigger buttonhole.
Finally an English knitter that I can follow. Thank you!
This is the best tutorial for button holes that l have found. And l have tried many techniques. Thank-you!
Your techniques are ALWAYS the easiest and the prettiest! Thank you!
THANK YOU!!! As always, your tutorials have saved my project. 🙏
I've seen others that do purl with yarn in back and also cast an extra stitch! But yours I found VERY simple for a beginner. But I wouldve liked to see more close up and slower for a 1st timer knitting buttonholes.
Thankyou!
It's my 1st time AND for big diamonte buttons. 🧶🥀🧶
Short & sweet! This is just what I was looking for. Thanks again for your excellent tutorials!
I love watching your videos, they're so simple on explaining hard or new techniques
Are they really
I would just like to say massive thank you! Your videos are a great help to me, very clear & concise.❤
ALL of the techniques that are new to me, and that I need to learn for my current project are on your channel.
Each are added to my list and easy to find as I come to each one. Yay for TH-cam and hugs for you! 🤗
Thank you for this! I'm not making buttonholes at the moment; making a dog sweater and needed to figure out how to put a hole in the work so there's an opening to attach the leash to her collar. This will work great!
Thank you so much. All the other tutorials are so complicated but I found this so easy to follow and can finally finish the cardigan I'm knitting.
Exactly what I needed! Love the way direction of the camera too. I'll definitely be coming back to you to learn more techniques!
I love the sound of your knitting needles on the table :P
Thank you so much for all your tips and your channel! You explain everything clearly and quickly, it’s very useful when I need a new skill in the middle of knitting a pattern. I find your methods to be a good blend of traditional and modern. I’d like to know how to hold my working yarn the way you do X
Thank you so much for this! I was struggling to find a good method to use in a seed stitch cowl. This works great so there aren't any wonky double-ups of any stitches and flows very nicely into the pattern. Simple and perfect!
I wondered if it was just binding off those stitches and then casting back on! My mom has cancer and keeps dropping her phone, so she hasn’t been taking it with her to the bathroom, but she’s been falling some and when she doesn’t have her phone, well, last time we didn’t find her for a while.
I’m making her a pouch she can wear around her neck, so she can always take her phone with her and not worry about it falling and breaking, and if SHE falls it won’t fly out of her hand! But I wanted to secure it with a button if possible, so this is really useful to me. Thank you so much. It’ll be helpful in all my future projects with buttonholes (I think I may make a scarf that can be a short transformable scarf or become an infinity scarf, for instance), but for this one especially, I’m grateful for the advice. Not knowing anyone who knits, and not being able to go to a knitting group, during this pandemic, resources like this are really really helpful.
I love your easily explained methods, thank you.
Love your tutorials, so simple and clear. Going to try this. Have a heart shaped button and if need more space will be easy to undo to make larger, if needed.
I love your tutorials very easy to follow
Needed a quick buttonhole. I knew you'd have it for me. Thanks!
Thank you! This is a great, simple method.
@MyPatchwork63 Great! Thanks for the comment. I'm glad the video is helping. :)
Thank you! I needed this refresher. Very helpful.
Thanks. This is so easy.
Always good training. Thank you
From India mam thanks for sharing this lovely video in a simple method button holes
very well explained - thank you!!
Thank you. Very helpful and simple for beginner.
@tgbarnett1 I'm sorry you feel that it is too fast. This technique has less to do with the details of stitches involved, and more to do with the assembly of those stitches that make up a buttonhole. If you're looking for slow demonstrations of the stitches used (knitting, purling, binding-off, or the backwards-loop cast-on), those techniques can be found in other videos on my channel. This video shows how to put those stitches together to make a 3-row buttonhole.
@amylynnswarbrick Sorry you found it too fast. Please understand that this video is meant to show the overall technique of a simple buttonhole, and not the specific techniques used. If you need help with the specific techniques (knitting, purling, binding off, backwards loop cast on) I have separate videos on each of those that demonstrate them each slowly.
Thanks so much indeed :) Would this work for a rib section as well? I am looking for an easy yet clean method to make button holes along the ribbed neck of my cardigan.
Thanks again🌸🌼🌹
Wow. So simple! Thanks a million!
Very helpful and simple thank you
Can I use the backwards loop cast on method if my next row would be casting off all stitches?
Thanks for sharing
Excellent explanation!
Thanks 🎉
Thank you, now I can finish my sister's hat.
Just wondering if you still do your buttonholes like this. Just asking as this video is 10 years old. Thank you great video.
Yes - the video might be a few years old, but the technique is the same!
Yess it was amazingly easy
Thank you... this was very helpful!
how to make an after thought buttonhole on finished garment.
plz make videos of knitting necklines v round collar plz
Great vid - I agree with everyone else. Thanks!
Very helpful thank you, xoRobin
best videos
I am knitting this top-down raglan cardigan in the largest size.
Can you please interpret the following instructions regarding EVERY 14TH ROW and EVERY 12TH ROW?
When do I start EVERY 12TH ROW?
Pattern instructions are:
Row 16 (Buttonhole Row) Work as for row 2 to last 5 sts, k 2, yo, k2tog, k 1.
Rep Buttonhole Row EVERY 14TH ROW 1 (3, 6, 2, 2) TIMES, THEN EVERY 12TH ROW 6 (4, 1, 6, 6) TIMES
and AT SAME TIME, continue as follows:
Row 17 and all WS rows to lower band [K 1, p 1] twice, k 1, p to last 5 sts, [k 1, p 1] twice, k 1.
Row 18 [K to marker, yo, sm, k 1, yo] 4 times, k to end. Rep last 2 rows 10 (12, 15, 17, 19) times more, working buttonholes when necessary - 218 (238, 266, 282, 306) sts.
Next row Rep Row 17.
My interpretation is that the Buttonhole rows start at Row 16 then EVERY 14TH ROW (2 TIMES FOR THE LARGEST SIZE) is Row 30 then Row 44.
THEN EVERY 12TH ROW (6 TIMES FOR THE LARGEST SIZE) gives me Rows 56, 68, 80, 92, 104, and 116.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Sorry you're having trouble - please contact the pattern designer for support. Good designers get back to you quickly with answers to your questions! :)
Oh my god my mind blew up T^T
Never heard of the backward loop cast on method and way too fast for me to see what is being done. Sorry not helpful to me, just too fast to see the casting on.
