Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have been struggling to find a button band that I am satisfied with for a cardigan that I'm making for my granddaughter. This gives such a lovely finishing touch. ❤

Taylor, Thus was great! Your a good teacher and this is what your viewers need.
I love button bands.

[juliebarrett]

Great video - thank you! I’ve ❤subscribed.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It is just what I needed !

Fantastic! Thanks for the tutorial, I’ve learned a new technique to me, so very much appreciated 😍

[scarletwoodland]

Thank you so much, this was really helpful. I can see clearly where you're picking up. Seeing the teeny tiny stitches on my tightly knit, 3 ply baby cardigan is another matter 😅. My first neice/nephew just had to be a summer baby, didn't they.

[Reknitsme]

Perfect timing. This is a great tutorial! Thank you

[Knitty_Nettie]

Needed this! Thank you so much Taylor ❤️

[haana-siksiksammurtok-lava]

this is such a clear tutorial! I haven't done a button band yet but now I am going to give it a go 🙂 thank you

[eileentuss]

Thanks so much! I really needed this and it's a good tutorial. I will be checking out your patterns.

I saw this and thought about you right off, look up Heavy Metal Knitting on youtube when you can. Thanks for sharing your tips. I'm sure this will come in handy one day for me.

I’d love to hear how/when you learnt to knit or became seriously interested in the craft. Would you consider filming an episode or podcast on that? I you have already included this in one of your previous episodes, let me know which if you can as I haven’t come across it yet. I enjoy😍 your channel very much, thank you 😊

[renatawhitakerroge]

Hi thanks for the tutorial, it helped a lot!! ❤ I was wondering, do you have the tutorial of the technique to close up a buttonhole that you mention at the end of the video?

[shaliset]

What does the figures 18/27 represent? Is it the number of stitches and rows?

[fcsxcwx]

Hi Taylor, I’d love your help on the following! I’m just wondering, do you know how to knit ruffles and can share tips with me? Or at least do you know of any tutorials out there? I really hope so!!! I’ve been dying to learn the guaranteed formula for perfect ruffles!!!

[YolyCurls]

Closing up the bottom whole tutorial. Is it up?

[TrudySchwartzBurrill]

What kind of yarn is that Taylor? I do love all the the colors and overall look. It reminds me me of Brooklyn Tweed, but I it could be home spun as I know you do that as well. I figured you’d be happy to share. Can you tell me the color please also?
I thought I’d ask you here before I applied to do a test knit for you because it would be my first. Thanks so much. I thought about applying to do your stripped cardigan test knit but I haven’t done a test knit before and am very irregular in posting an d don’t keep up my Ravelry or Instagram. So. I assumed you wouldn’t choose someone like me. Do let me know though because I would be interested in giving it a go. I think it would be fabulous experience. Thanks kindly.

Difficult to follow the support stitch part

[glossydemarco]

Not a complete buttonhole. Beginners would find this totally confusing.
