This video demonstrates how to knit a one-row buttonhole or horizontal slit.
The technique is demonstrated three times, describing the process in detail during the first two button holes, and then working it straight through the third time. Tips on how and where to locate the buttonhole in different stitch patterns are given, with examples shown on swatches, as well as how the technique was used in two completed projects. Written instructions for the technique can be found below the links to each section of the video.

This was absolutely the clearest video on buttonholes. I think you need to add to your written instructions, after CO cable cast on stitches +1, to turn the work again. I had to watch a few times to catch that. But the instructions I paid for from [ahem] left out key things like returning a stitch to the left needle. So I owe you a coffee!

I was making an updated Gansey jumper, with a stand-up collar that had a row of buttons on the left shoulder. It's an oldie but goodie--mid 1980s pattern from Knitters' Magazine. The magazine has been out of print for some time, for good reason (bad editing, patterns not test knitted). It's a really nice men's jumper--and men really do like it. I made another jumper in the same pattern, for this young man's brother. I had to modify the pattern so that it's proportions were more traditional (bottom ribbing band was way too large). One of the things I didn't like about the pattern was the buttonholes the designer called for. I was going to have to modify that part of the pattern anyway, because the buttons I had that worked with the overall design of the jumper are larger than what the pattern called for. So, I did a quick search of YT, to see if someone had a better method than the one I knew. Lo and behold, I found this video and I made five really nice buttonholes--and a new favorite way to make row buttonholes. Thanks.

@brendahicks1686 6 жыл бұрын

Question on the orientation of the yarn when slipping stitches when you are starting with a purl on ribbing as opposed to a knit stitch. Do you still hold the yarn in front or do you hold it opposite what the stitch would call for in this situation? I am doing this on 2x2 ribbing and having some difficulty getting it to look correct. Probably user error. LOL! Thanks in advance.

@RoxanneRichardson 6 жыл бұрын

Well, you could try it the opposite way, and see what you get. The point is to wrap that stitch, and then before you pass sts over each other, you'll need the yarn in the back.

There are written instructions in the video description. You are supposed to CO 1 st more than you BO, and then that extra st is eliminated.

Those are actually green - they are Signature Needles Arts US 6 32'' fixed length circular needles. (Each needle size is a different color). I don't think they make the fixed length circs anymore, just the tips with interchangeable cables.

Hi Roxanne, thanks for making such informative videos. Also, I was very sorry to hear of your health issues. I hope you get better soon! If its not too much trouble I was wondering if you might be able to help in directing me to the patterns used in the blue scarf (I can see you use Flemish block lace for one panel and something that looks like a raspberry/trinity stitch in another) But I'm not familiar with the others. In particular I love the chevron panels at the end, I can't find any pattern like them anywhere. Any help would be most appreciated!

@RoxanneRichardson 10 ай бұрын

All of the patterns are from Barbara Walker's Treasuries (I don't recall if they are all from the same volume, or from different volumes). There's no Trinity stitch in the scarf, as they are all lace patterns. The chevron pattern is Pearl-Barred Scallop, from Walker's first Treasury.

Oh so wish I had found your video before. I always have a piece of "scrap" knitting to hand so tried your method. Problem I have now is, do I unpick around 400 stitches to do your button hole or leave it as is but remember to use yours the next time.

@RoxanneRichardson 2 жыл бұрын

Does your pattern include instructions for a buttonhole? You can do any type of buttonhole you want (horizontal, vertical, or YO). It just depends on how large the buttonhole needs to be for the buttons you plan to use, and whether you are trying to hide the hole in a column of purl sts, etc. There is no should or shouldn't.

@RoxanneRichardson 4 жыл бұрын

The extra stitch is eliminated when you pass a stitch over to complete the button hole. It creates a neater closure/corner. Essentially you BO X sts, CO X+1, BO 1.
