Knitting Help - Buttonholes

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!

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. 🧶🥀🧶

Your techniques are ALWAYS the easiest and the prettiest! Thank you!

[BonnieBayCrochet]

Short & sweet! This is just what I was looking for. Thanks again for your excellent tutorials!

I love your easily explained methods, thank you.

I love watching your videos, they're so simple on explaining hard or new techniques

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!

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 YouTube and hugs for you! 🤗

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!

THANK YOU!!! As always, your tutorials have saved my project. 🙏

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

[clindstrom]

Exactly what I needed! Love the way direction of the camera too. I'll definitely be coming back to you to learn more techniques!

[marjannegooze]

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.

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.

[WilburGarysMum]

Thank you! This is a great, simple method.

[bevdittmer]

Needed a quick buttonhole. I knew you'd have it for me. Thanks!

I love the sound of your knitting needles on the table :P

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.
