Tidy Afterthought buttonhole

TIDY AFTERTHOUGHT BUTTONHOLE
TAB technique by Agasalhos e Bugalhos
You need:
- crochet hook or duo needle (I used Addi Duett knitting needle/crochet hook)
- detachable markers, scissors
- tapestry needle and strands of the same yarn of your piece
This method of afterthought buttonhole allows you to knit your piece and plan and create the buttonholes after you finish it.
A big hug

    So glad I “met you” regarding your beautiful Concentric Circular Shawl on Ravelry! Looking forward to seeing all your posts! Thanks so much, this buttonhole is a real winner. I am about to do the edge on the “No. 4 Vest and may try this technique. 😊

    Sandra, youve done it again! Another fabulous knitting idea!! 🎉❤😊 I am ALWAYS unhappy with conventional buttonholes, as mentioned by other contributors here, so I'll be making my buttonholes like this from now on 👍👌❤️🧶 Thank you, SO much 😊

    That’s genius Sandra! It seems a much stronger buttonhole, normal ones get very loose and stretchy. I’ve actually used some of those techniques mending knitting, so it all makes good sense. Well done!

    Amazing! I was sooo let down by the size and loose usual yarn over, knit two together buttonhole for a baby jacket and looked for a way to make it stronger and more prominent and here you are! I am SO grateful! This will be my new go to!! Much love from Norway :D

    This actually looks neater than the yarn overs I usually use! I'd probably not use two different pieces of thread to secure the stitches, but one and move up the ribbing and then back down to secure the one closer to the edge (if that makes sense).

    This is genius! A cardigan I knit years ago needed an additional button, and the buttonole I made using this technique both looks and works a lot better than the buttonholes I originally made while knitting the button band. Thank you so much!

    Thanks for sharing this! I definitely have to give this a try. I accidentally (maybe my stitch marker fell out?) missed adding a buttonhole on the button band. I didn’t notice it until I was sewing on buttons!

    Genial idea, sobre todo cuando se hace la tapeta en vertical a la vez que se teje. Es cuando más me cuesta calcular el último ojal.

    Hello and thank you for sharing your technique 😀 Question however - With my buttons (23mm, cardigan for myself), I am trying your technique - Despite using more stitches, the buttonhole is too thigh. Any idea of what I do incorrectly? Thank you kindly 🧶

    I would omit the double knots, they seem unnecessary. The thread will hold well enough if just woven in and it would look much more tidy.

    If you did not bind off your button band before making the buttonhole, couldn't you simply include that stitch from the hole in your final bind off? I think this buttonhole technique is genius!
