Thank you so much for this terrific tutorial. I have a favourite knitting pattern for a jacket and very time I knit one I have to re-learn how to do a one row buttonhole.

this is hands-down the BEST tutorial on the internet for a one row buttonhole. I love that you explained how to avoid creating holes, why you twisted stitches as you did the cabled cast-on (as well as how to actually DO the cabled cast on). Really valuable video!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It is clear and concise. I also like that you are working on a live project rather than a swatch--may not matter to others, but it made a difference for me.

Have to agree on all the comments, only video I watched that explained the procedure step by step and helped me make successful button holes - Thank you

Thank you not only for demonstrating how to execute a one row buttonhole but for explaining why you twist the cable cast on stitches when returning to the needle and how to avoid those horrible holes in my knitted fabric. I subscribed for this tip alone. But I’m sure I’ll be back for more tips in the future.

I have been wanting to make this cardigan for my dad for ages. The cables are a little intimidating but the hold up was really all about button holes. They give me fits and they never ever look good. They always look like an accidental hole I didn’t bother to fix. I watched several vids that did not help at all. Then I found this vid. It’s clear, it’s concise, and more importantly my button hole came out clean neat and tight the first time. (The second time not so much, but I forgot to wrap the yarn on the first stitch so that’s on me. 😂) thank you so much for your help. I worked really hard on this sweater and I couldn’t bear to have giant ugly holes in it!

I haven't knitted for about 20 years so was excited to knit a cable cardigan for my little grandson, I don't like 1 stitch button holes so wanted to do a 4 stitch button hole, but when I got to that point I couldn't remember for the life of me how to do them... But I found your tutorial... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.. So easy to follow and some great little tips..

Thank you SO MUCH for mentioning about not snugging up the yarn too much on those first and last stitches! I frogged a button band due to that exact issue!❤
