I'm making a granny square 'join as you go' cardigan by MJ Designs, and I am not happy with the elasticity of a crochet band, so thought I would do a 'knit' band, and it turned out super nice for the waist, but I wondered HOW to do buttonholes and what kind, for the front band, and here is the perfect video for me! Thank you SO MUCH! I will do the vertical buttonhole, I like the tight finish, and think it will hold up for years of use.

I really learnt how to do my button holes now. You presented it in a pretty good way by going slowly. On the top of that you covered all kinds in one presentation. Thank you

This tutorial really helped me! Never even tried making Button holes before but this made me want to actually try it!

You make this so clear and I like the demonstration of the various buttonholes so that we can compare. Thank you.

I’ve been making socks where if you are toe up, you want a very stretchy bind off. Certainly good for socks but not too stretchy for a button band. When I first learned to knit, I just had one cast on and one cast off. I don’t want to count the numbers I’ve learned since KZread, but it has really improved my knitting. Thank you for all you do for knitters of all skills.

Thank you for your tutorials and for the attention to detail, which you provide. I always turn to your podcasts, when I don’t understand how to use a method. I recently had a problem when, the button band I knitted became tight and curved on the cast-off row. I hadn’t realised that it was necessary to create a formula, in order to prevent this happening.

I am really anjoying your videos! They are so clear and concise! They're very easy to follow and understand! I have a question... a problem... I have a K3P2 ribbing for my button hole band, so I can't find a button hole stitch that works following button hole techniques for either K1P1 or K2P2 ribbing. Suzanne, do you have any recommendations about how I could do this? The pattern I'm using in the Juno Cardigan, and all it says it to make "a button hole", without directions on how to do that.... Many Thanks, Caroline

I'm working on a sweater with ribbons for off-the-shoulder straps and the horizontal eyelet works perfectly for that, I thought I would have to do regular one stitch eyelets but this method looks so much better

I am just about to make buttonholes for 10mm buttons in a 1 inch band in 1 x 1 twisted rib. I love the tidy effect of the one row hole and wonder if they work ok for 3 stitches. Or perhaps that would be too small? Thank you again and I hope you always get as much joy from your knitting as you give to others!

Yes, it is OK to work for 3 stitches. It will look great! When you bind off the lower part, be sure to twist the rib stitches first, then bind off, they will look better that way. Thank you and happy knitting.

I’ve done the band with the buttons and it’s perfect! Many thanks.

Hi Suzanne. I’m trying my hardest to get my button holes to look like yours but I’m getting a little hole at the side of my button hole. Where am I going wrong ? 😟

This is super helpful! I have a quick question, if I want to go with the 3rd option (horizontal), is possible to do less than 4 sts? I’m afraid that’ll be too big for my buttons

I am so grateful for your button band and hole tutorials! The four-stitch bound off hole is perfect for my mother-in-law’s Aran cardigan. Her arthritis and vision problems had kept her from finishing an almost completed long cabled cardigan (so much meticulously done work!). I could not stand to let her toss it out, even though I am an advanced beginner but have never knitted a cardigan before, AND she had misplaced the pattern. So I read and mirrored her work to finish the left front, sewed all five pieces together, but then was stumped…until I found your tutorials. Hallelujah 😊 thank you, thank you, thank you! Matched her work and turned out lovely.

Thank you for this tutorial (and many others)! Is it possible to adjust the size of the one row horizontal button hole according to the size of my button, for example, one stitch smaller? I love how it looks but my buttons are quite small.

@SuzanneBryan

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, absolutely, and the size of the button hole not only depends on the size of the button but also the weight of the yarn. A heavier weight yarn will require fewer stitches and lighter yarn will require more stitches. Always swatch and test the button going through the button hole. Good luck!

Fantastic!

Thanks! Doing buttonholes for the first time and was trying to find a video to make sense out of the directions. I don't know if you can help me, but I like the buttonhole with the 4 stitch bind off the best. What would you use in a 1x1 rib band, bulky yarn, tight knitter, and 7/8 buttons? 2 stitch bind off? Not a big fan of that single YO buttonhole that my pattern calls for. Doesn't look as professional as the bind off buttonhole. Not that I'm anywhere near a professional, but I do like my knitting to look as nice as I can manage. And off topic, who on earth downvotes a knitting video? Even if I didn't understand your presentation (which I did, thanks), I wouldn't downvote a knitting video. I'd just toddle along and find one I did understand. Some people... although I do agree with the one commenter who said that perhaps one type buttonhole at a time might have been better for those of us who are a little slower to catch on.

@SuzanneBryan

3 жыл бұрын

For your situation, I would work a swatch with your ribbing and try both buttonholes. For ⅞" buttons in bulky yarn, you might only need to bind off 2 stitches for the horizontal buttonhole. One for the buttonhole and one to slip over the left stitch. Let me know what you find. Also, on the thumbs down votes, I just ignore them. But, I like you, wonder why. Thank you for your support and happy knitting. 🧶
