Tidy Afterthought buttonhole

[@LyndaGilfeather]

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 😊

[@tammyedwards9730]

This is great! No cutting or worrying about unraveling with wear!

[@Lazydaisy646]

Thank you. Crisis averted . This is great

[@bebejohnson1201]

Thank you for the great idea and even better explanation! I have a few sweaters I made without button holes because I didn’t want to bother with them, but I can add them now!

[@SusanJane-it8hi]

An excellent video. Thank you. So much easier to get the buttons and buttonholes exactly where you want them without a fuss!

[@knittingpoppy]

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!

[@renatastec4624]

thank you, this is very clever!

[@andreabohnstedt7821]

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).

As coisas giras que nos ensina, obrigada! A beleza de muitas peças está na perfeição dos acabamentos!

[@tjthreegreenbananas155]

Love it! This is such a useful skill for creating knitted buttonholes, one of my least favorite things to do. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@carolynbriggs6972]

Thanks. This arrived in my IG feed at the moment when I needed it. Came to KZbin to watch the full explanation. It solves a problem I’ve been dealing with. Thanks! It’s genius.

THANK YOU! My little baby sweater buttonhole didn't look quite right! Your wonderful video took me out of the blues! Time to send this little gem off to the new parents!

[@ptoste1]

Thank you 🙏 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

[@christenagervais7303]

Thank you so much! I've always had problems knitting buttonholes in the right place. Now I don't have too! What a wonderful video!

[@heidistanley7721]

Thank you! I originally added snaps to a few projects and really don't like how that looks and thought I would just have to live with it.

[@Marjan-creative]

Thank you for the clear explanation! 🌷

[@lindaw505]

This is brilliant! Thank you for sharing ❤🧶😊

[@emmari0601]

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

[@Дистанционныйсмотритель-ч9б]

Это гениально!! Огромная благодарность и уважение вам!! ❤❤❤

[@kaleidosaur2828]

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!

[@lynnanderson2230]

Absolutely brilliant!! Thank you!

[@monikascherer2]

That's absolutely perfect!! Thanks for sharing 🩷

[@juliebarrett943]

Great technique! Thank you.

[@cecilelemoine7827]

Love this pattern. Thank you for all your wonderful patterns ❤

[@m.eccggeoc]

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.

[@harrietatlas8756]

Lovely buttonholes!

[@amandawells-frailey6527]

Fantastic!

[@ritam.4071]

Sandra, this is brilliant! I knit a cardigan a couple of years ago that I wish had buttons--I'm going to use your technique! I love your patterns, btw. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@susanrodway6203]

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. 😊

[@ochantiquesart]

This is amazing technique. Love to learnt it. Thankyou Sandra❤

[@claudiacollier1911]

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!

[@angelahudson5812]

Genius! ❤

[@marileefuehrer8468]

Wonderful to know. Wish I had seen this yesterday. I fought and fought with 5 button holes in a sweater.

[@pinkyanand3046]

Thank u so much. ❤

[@veronicanorman546]

I am making my first cardigan and missed the instruction to put the first buttonhole in the waistband. I can make this solution work. Thank you for sharing/teaching!

[@yuliyakeller8294]

Awesome! Particularly when you do not know it's boy or girl 🤔. I tried to secure with one thread only: going through one side of buttonhole and coming back from other. That way I have only one place for ends connection. Thank you so much!❤

[@thriftythreader5998]

Brilliant! Thank you for sharing.

[@PadmaRdesigns]

Amazing! Thank you so much 😍

[@misscharlotte160]

This is terrific.

[@noriskern7385]

Obrigada, vou testar. Acho que vou conduzir o fio de baixo para cima para ter menos pontas soltas

[@pinkmugical]

Só funciona com esse tipo de banda de botões/casas? Se não fizer banda alguma, já não funciona, certo? Obg

[@singingclem2044]

Thank you ! This is such a great way to do them !😮 which patter is this lovely cardigan ?

[@agnieszkaodolczyk6096]

Amezing 🎉

[@Isabelfleurs]

C’est super👍 lorsque je tricote je ne sais jamais si je dois faire les boutonnières à droite ou à gauche 🙈 Je ne vais plus me tromper maintenant 😘

[@sylvies100]

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 🧶

[@katjaberden8124]

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.

[@allonszenfantsjones]

Double crochet hook can work on this as well

[@violetacano2507]

🤩🤩🤩

[@madcats1231]

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!

[@agasalhosebugalhos]

Thank you so much for your suggestion. It's a very good idea!

[@starther]

What das "WS" mean?

[@agasalhosebugalhos]

@@starther Hi there! WS is the abbreviation for Wrong Side (of the work). 🤗
