Different styles of sweaters call for
different types of buttonholes. The size
and type of button you’re using also
influences your choice of buttonhole.
However, the eyelet buttonhole, the
one-row horizontal buttonhole, and the
two-row horizontal buttonhole should
get you through most situations.
Before making buttonholes on your
finished pieces, you should practice the
various techniques a few times to make
sure you come up with a nice, neat
buttonhole.
This is the easiest buttonhole to make. It works very well for children’s and
babies’ clothes, as well as for small buttons. It is worked by combining a yarn
over with a knit 2 together: The yarn over makes the hole, and the knit 2 together
decreases to maintain the original stitch count.
1 Work to the point where you want the buttonhole to be and then k2tog, yo;
continue the row as established.
2 On the next row, work the yo as you would a regular stitch.
