In this DROPS video we show how to work double band without buttholes.
Pick up stitches at the top of the piece / by shoulder on front piece, pick up 1 stitch in every knitted row down along the piece or skip every 4-5 stitch, inside 1 edge stitch. Look at your pattern what it says.
After the pick up cast on 12 stitches for band (= at the bottom of the piece), but it can be different from pattern to pattern. Work band over the 12 stitches at the same time as band is knitted together with stitches picked up along the piece as follows:
ROW 1 (= wrong side): Knit 1, * slip 1 stitch on to right needle purlwise with strand in front of piece, knit 1 *, work from *-* until 1 stitch remains of the 12 band stitches, slip the next 2 stitches on to right needle purlwise with strand in front of piece, turn.
ROW 2 (= right side): Knit 2 together, *, slip 1 stitch on to right needle purlwise with strand in front of piece, knit 1 *, work from *-* until 1 stitch remains, slip last stitch on to right needle purlwise with strand in front of piece, turn.
Repeat rows 1 and 2.
