Vertical Buttonhole in K1P1 Ribbing

Make a neat vertical buttonhole in K1P1 ribbing that keeps the rib columns intact. Then weave the ends in so they reinforce the hole. Step-by-step for cardigan bands, shown Continental. In this tutorial you will learn: • How to place the buttonhole in the middle of the band • How to work each side separately with a second strand, and how many rows to use (3 rows fit a 3/4 inch button in worsted weight) • How to close the buttonhole off at the top • The common mistake: buttonholes that are too big. Knitted fabric stretches, so test with your button • How to weave in the ends with duplicate stitch so they reinforce the buttonhole and stay invisible Time stamps 00:00 What you will learn 00:13 Placing the buttonhole in the middle 00:59 Working the buttonhole to any length 02:49 Closing it off at the top 05:07 Weaving in ends with duplicate stitch Related videos • Best eyelet (YO) buttonhole in K1P1 ribbing — https://youtu.be/FJOK8GGzY4I • A variety of buttonholes in 1x1 ribbing — https://youtu.be/LqiKTbgvO-o • A variety of buttonholes in 2x2 ribbing — https://youtu.be/dk4ShgDj6Wo • How to pick up stitches for perfect button bands — https://youtu.be/AfU-6QHNlDw • Playlist: Buttonholes — https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLKJ9GuhEEwm3yPm-243t5iu7pUvM3TqC Classes: https://masteryourknitting.com If you enjoy my videos, please subscribe and consider buying me a coffee on Ko-fi - https://ko-fi.com/suzannebryan I am Suzanne Bryan, TKGA Certified Master Hand Knitter.
