This video is, by far, the best example of how to do a buttonhole on ribbing. Simple, easy to follow examples and it was as if a lightbulb went on over my head/EUREKA!!!!
Thank you so very much!!

Excellent video. I try to check videos with the latest record dates because techniques improve so much as years go by.
Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you.

I had been avoiding patterns that have buttonholes. This is very clear.

Thank you Roxane for your technique videos! This one is again very helpful. I’m well on my way to become a perfect knitter 😊

[carolinepepper]

Thank you, a really clear tutorial that has helped me finish the button holes on my latest knitting project.

Thank goodness for this video, I’m new to knitting and following a pattern telling me to make a buttonhole but l couldn’t see that it said to increase after, now l know the yarn over will be the increase! 😊 Thank you 🙏🏻

[rachelraye]

Wow! I should have watched this first! Thank you!!!

[kristad]

Thank you! So helpful, doing a K2P2 rib on the barnstaple vest, and using the raku ceramic buttons I’ve been hoarding for 5 years or so. 😊 They are square, and chunkier than regular buttons, so definitely need a bigger buttonhole than one YO will provide.

Thank You for this easy to understand and use technique, short, easy, and it works.

[angeldon]

Madam you are genius I love your video it’s really so helpful in my knitting 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[clairepella]

A super clear and helpful video! This is only my third project and I'm trying to add a buttonhole that's not in the pattern, I think I should actually be able to do it now. Thanks!

[cookitalianwithdavide]

Thanks Roxanne, super clear! I always learn something new with you and my projects are improving a lot!!

[kimwilliams]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I found it so helpful.

[juliag]

Thank you so much for the clear demonstration. I have just had to unpick my button hole band after getting into difficulty with the buttonholes. I am sure that I will now be able to do it right with your instructions in front of me. My pattern just said k2tog, yo which was pretty useless for a novice on buttonholes!
