Usually buttonholes with knitting needles knit on a bar that runs in the middle of the front. The location of the loops is determined by the pattern, so that when knitting, you know exactly how many centimeters after the next loop. ().

First of all, note the location of the uppermost loop and the lowermost. Then the distance between them is divided into equal intervals. The segment between the loops can be any, but you should know that large buttons are placed on the product no more than 15 cm later, small buttons may have a smaller gap. Remember also that in a knitted product, buttonholes with knitting needles stretch a lot, so they are always made a little less than the diameter of the buttons.

Buttonholes for knitting needles are horizontal, vertical and small round. The choice of the type of loops also depends on the width of the strap (for example, on a narrow bar it will hardly be possible to make horizontal loops), the diameter of the buttons (for small buttons, round loop-holes are usually made), as well as the type of knitting (horizontal loops look better on garter stitch, and on the elastic - vertical). Therefore, in order to be able to create knitted sweaters, you should learn how to knit all types of loops.

Such loops are best performed on a bar tied with an elastic band 1 x 1. In the right place in front of the purl loop, make the purl and the next front loop together with the front one. In the next purl row, knit this crochet with the front one.

This type of buttonhole is suitable for planks tied with a 2 x 2 elastic band.

On the strap of the fastener in the right place, knit 1 and 1 purl (this is the 1st loop of the next purl) together (with a tilt to the left); then make 2 yarns. Knit the 2nd purl and the next front stitch together with the front one. In the next purl row, knit the 1st crochet with the front one, and the 2nd one with the front one crossed.

Invisible buttonhole, knitted, HERE (click on the plus)

The sample is knitted on a strip of 10 loops, the loop itself is knitted with knitting needles from three loops between 4 loops from the edge and 3 loops from the shelf.

1. We knit 3 loops from the edge (bearing in mind that the loop itself is designed for 4 loops from the edge), i.e., 1 loop less than the beginning of the buttonhole itself is planned.

2 — 5. Take the hook and knit the chain on the next 4 open loops. We do not touch the working thread, we only knit the loops themselves. We transfer the last loop to the left knitting needle.
6. Now we need to get rid of the depression (shown by the arrow).
7 — 9. We take the hook and pull the thread through the first link of the chain (we thread the full chain, i.e. both threads). Transfer the resulting loop to the right knitting needle. Now we have returned the 4 outer loops, as originally planned (the beginning of the buttonhole is 4 loops from the edge).
10. We collect 3 loops with air loops (crossed yarns) according to the photo or such an angle that it is convenient to knit the loops in the next row (for garter knitting). We collect air loops tightly.
11 — 12. We knit to the end of the row and go back, we knit the dialed loops according to the pattern, in this case - with the front ones, like the rest of the loops of the scarf strap.
13 — 15. We knit the next row, and here we find a thread from an air loop from the last row, which in the future can interfere and get confused when buttoning the button. Depending on the inclination of the type of air loops, this thread can form both in the left and in the right corner of the loop. Raise this thread to the left knitting needle at the back and knit together with the next loop of the strap.
16. The buttonhole is complete, knit further until the next buttonhole.

Vertical knitted loops

This method of knitting loops is suitable for knitted with the shelves (solid knitted). Mark the middle of the plank, knit on the loops to the mark and complete the required number of rows (equal to the length of the hole), do not cut the thread. On the remaining stitches of the plank, make the same number of rows from another ball and cut this thread. Then continue knitting on all loops as usual.

There are three main ways to knit buttonholes. This is a hole-shaped buttonhole for a small button, a vertical cut and a horizontal cut for medium to large buttons. In detail, step by step, with a photo, we will analyze knitting of all types of loops.

Before examining the execution technique, I want to give a few tips. They are especially important if you are making buttonholes with knitting needles on a placket.

On a single-breasted and double-breasted plank, the layout of the loops should be as follows:

Now let's look at the three main ways of making buttonholes with knitting needles.

Let's start with the simplest one, making a small hole for a small button. It can be done with a yarn over or with a decorative "eyelet" element to get a slightly larger hole.

Crochet buttonhole

The easiest way is to sew a yarn over in place of the buttonhole. As a rule, it is performed in the front row, and in the purl, without knitting, it is simply dropped from the knitting needle.

The second method, in which a slightly larger cut is formed, is an element called an "eyelet"
It is necessary to tie the seamy row to the place of decoration. Pull the yarn over from the broach of the previous row between the loops. In the front row, knit the yarn over and the previous loop together, but do not throw off the left knitting needle.

Then grab the third loop and knit the front one. This is to maintain the number of loops.

By the way! With this type of nakida, it can be used to pass a decorative cord through it.

Horizontal slit hinge

For buttons of medium and large size, the loops with knitting needles can also be knitted in several ways:

Method 1: for a medium-sized button

Throw the working thread to the front side in front of the removed and untied loop. In the front row, close the loops, the total length of which is equal to the diameter of the button. Tie the row to the end. On the seamy side of the work, cast on loops in an amount equal to the number of closed loops minus 1 loop. After the set of air loops, continue the row to the end.

On the right side of knitting, the loop should not be loose or tight.
From the seamy side, the knitted fabric should not have an assembly.

Method 2: for a large button

Tie to the location of the incision. Close the required number of loops by constantly stretching the loop and applying a button. Tie the row to the end. On the next purl, cast on the same number of stitches minus one to form the top edge. Move the working thread for work. Grab the working thread with your thumb so that you get a loop. Put it on the right knitting needle.

When typing, constantly tighten the working thread to create a tight set. Loops must be positioned without spaces.

Method 3: for a very large button - a 3D buttonhole

Tie to the location of the incision. Close the required number of loops. Pull the last loop through the untied one from the left knitting needle. Leave the resulting loops on the right knitting needle. Bring the working thread to the wrong side. Make a yarn between the loops.

When knitting from the seamy row, discard the yarn. This will enlarge the last buttonhole in size, allowing the opening to stretch when threading the large button.

How to knit vertical buttonholes with knitting needles

Assemble the loose hinges of the part on a pin. Begin seamy side incision. Make a yarn over after the first loop. When knitting a crochet, so that a gap does not form in knitting, it must be turned over and knitted with a front one. Continue performing the work, as in point 2, until the required number of rows is formed.

Collect the free loops on a pin and start knitting the left side of the loop from the front row. When knitting, cut the loops on the right side in the same order in which they added on the left, in order to maintain their total number.

These are the main methods used to knit buttonholes with knitting needles. It is worth mastering them well so that the loops come out neat and even. After all, the appearance of a knitted product with eye buttons largely depends on the correctness and accuracy of the loops for them. I hope that this article will be useful for novice needlewomen who are afraid to take on blouses and cardigans with a fastener, fearing that they will not be able to beautifully execute the loops. And of course, I hope you find the tips at the beginning of this article helpful.

When writing the article, materials of the book “Knitting. The most useful and complete tutorial. "

Correctly knitted buttonholes are a very important element for any knitting item. And they need to be given no less attention than knitting a neck or armhole, because the final result of the appearance of the product depends on this.

Types of loops when knitting

Exists Several different types of buttonholes include horizontal buttonholes, vertical buttonholes, hole buttonholes, hanging buttonholes and made from contrasting yarn.

On a single-breasted and double-breasted plank, the layout of the loops should be as shown in the photo:

Discreet buttonhole for small buttons

Let's start with the simplest one, making a small hole for a small button. It can be done with a yarn over or with a decorative "eyelet" element to get a slightly larger hole.

Crochet buttonhole The easiest way is to sew a yarn over in place of the buttonhole. As a rule, it is performed in the front row, and in the purl, without knitting, it is simply dropped from the knitting needle.

The second method, in which a slightly larger cut is formed, is an element called the "eyelet".

It is necessary to tie the seamy row to the place of decoration. Pull the yarn over from the broach of the previous row between the loops. In the front row, knit the yarn over and the previous loop together, but do not throw off the left knitting needle. Then grab the third loop and knit the front one. This is to maintain the number of loops.

By the way! With such a yarn, it can be used to pass a decorative cord through it.

Hole loop

Method I
Hole loops work well for small buttons. Do them like this. 1st row: where the hole should be, make a yarn over, knit the next two loops together with the front one. 2nd row: knit yarn over and all loops according to the pattern.

Method II
1st row: knit to the cut of the loop, yarn over. 2nd row: remove the yarn over with a new yarn over. 3rd row: remove, without knitting, the loop in front of the yarns. like the front one, knit the yarns together with the front one and pull through the removed loop.

Method III
1st row: knit to the cut of the loop, 2 together with the front one with a tilt to the right, double yarn, 2 together with the front one with a tilt to the left. 2nd row: knit yarns with purl (the first yarn for the front wall, the second for the back).

Method IV
1st row: knit to the cut of the loop, double yarn, 2 together with the front one with a tilt to the left. 2nd row: knit to the crochets, knit the first crochet with the wrong side, discard the second from the knitting needle.

Knitting horizontally

Horizontal slit hinge For buttons of medium and large size, the loops with knitting needles can also be knitted in several ways:

Method 1: for a medium-sized button Throw the working thread to the right side in front of the removed and untied buttonhole. In the front row, close the loops, the total length of which is equal to the diameter of the button. Tie the row to the end. On the seamy side of the work, cast on loops equal to the number of closed loops minus 1 loop. After the set of air loops, continue the row to the end.

On the right side of knitting, the loop should not be loose or tight. From the seamy side, the knitted fabric should not have an assembly.

Method 2: for a large button Tie to the location of the cut. Close the required number of loops by constantly stretching the loop and applying a button. Tie the row to the end. On the next purl, cast on the same number of stitches minus one to form the top edge. Move the working thread for work. Grab the working thread with your thumb so that you get a loop. Put it on the right knitting needle.

When typing, constantly tighten the working thread to create a tight set. Loops must be positioned without spaces.

Method 3: for a very large button - a volumetric loop. Tie to the location of the cut. Close the required number of loops. Pull the last loop through the untied one from the left knitting needle. Leave the resulting loops on the right knitting needle. Bring the working thread to the wrong side. Make a yarn between the loops.

When knitting from the seamy row, discard the yarn. This will enlarge the last buttonhole in size, allowing the opening to stretch when threading the large button.

Horizontal hinges

The horizontal button slit is formed in two rows. In the first row, the cut loops are fixed in a row. In the next row, at the place of the cut, they collect the same number of loops as they fixed. A single strand set will create a neat top edge of the buttonhole. All horizontal hinges shown below are made on four hinges.

Horizontal button slit in two rows. is the most frequently used option.

1. In the first row, knit to the cut. Then fasten four loops in a row and tie the row to the end.

2. In the next row, work until the stitches are secured. Then cast on four stitches from one strand and work the row to the end. In the next row, knit stitches behind the back wall to tighten.

Method I
1st row: fasten four stitches in a row in a row. 2nd row: work to the cut, including one fixed loop, add one loop (knit behind the front and back walls), then cast on three loops.

Method II
1st row: close three stitches of the cut, remove the last stitch on the left knitting needle, knit it together with the next stitch with the front one. Row 2: Cast on five stitches over the stitched stitches. 3rd row: knit up to one loop in front of the dialed loops, knit 2 together., 3 persons., 2 together.

Method III
1st row: fasten four stitches in a row in a row. 2nd row: over the fixed loops, cast on four loops, insert the right knitting needle with the tip "towards you" under both walls of the first closed loop. Leaving the walls on the knitting needle, work the row to the end. 3rd row: knit the walls with the last dialed loop together with the front one.

The horizontal button slit can be made in the same row, both front and back.

1. Knit to the cut. Pull the second through the first loop, then through the second third, and so on. Return the last stitched stitch to the left knitting needle and turn the work over.

2. Using the twisted dial method, dial five loops, turn the work.

3. Remove the first buttonhole from the left knitting needle, thread at work, pull through the additional buttonhole that you have sewn to close the button opening. Work the row to the end.

Creating vertical loops

Assemble the loose hinges of the part on a pin. Begin seamy side incision. Make a yarn over after the first loop. When knitting a crochet, so that a gap does not form in knitting, it must be turned over and knitted with a front one. Continue performing the work, as in point 2, until the required number of rows is formed.

Collect the free loops on a pin and start knitting the left side of the loop from the front row. When knitting, cut the loops on the right side in the same order in which they added on the left, in order to maintain their total number.

These are the main methods used to knit buttonholes with knitting needles. It is worth mastering them well so that the loops come out neat and even. After all, the appearance of a knitted product with eye buttons largely depends on the correctness and accuracy of the loops for them. I hope this article will be useful for novice needlewomen who are afraid to take on blouses and cardigans with a fastener, fearing that they will not be able to beautifully execute the loops. And of course, I hope you find the tips at the beginning of the article helpful.

Vertical hinges

The vertical button cut can be made with or without an additional ball. The options are not fundamentally different. A good result is achieved both in the first and in the second case. The choice is influenced primarily by the quality of the yarn and the thickness of the thread.

Rice pattern
This cut is not suitable for large buttons. It is used for decorative purposes such as on a pocket flap. The rice pattern is ideal for vertical cuts because it is flat.

Double loop
It is used on the front surface only in the case of a double plank as shown in the figure. For a neat edge, add an edge loop on each side of the cut.

Joint double loop
When finished, fold the plank so that the edges of the cut line up and secure with a buttonhole seam.

Buttonhole inside elastic 1 in 1

The vertical button holes are unobtrusive in elastic. They disappear wonderfully in the purl loops of the elastic.

1 row... Knit the elastic along the wrong side. Where you want to make a hole, knit two from each loop.

2 row... On the front side, knit according to the pattern until 1 loop remains before the addition loop. Remove 2 loops, as in knitting, separately, transfer both loops to the left knitting needle and knit both loops with the front one. Make a double yarn over, knit 2 loops together with the front one.

3 row. Knit along the seamy side. When 1 loop remains with a double crochet, knit 2 loops together with the purl, make a crochet. Remove 2 loops, as in knitting, separately, transfer both loops to the left knitting needle and knit both loops with a purl.

4 row... Knit in pattern from right side, purl each button hole, grabbing both strands of yarn.

Buttonhole inside the elastic 2 by 2 (Figure 6)

1 row... Knit on the front side until there is 1 front loop to the 2 purl loops, where the hole for the loop will be located. Remove 2 loops as in knitting, separately, transfer both loops to the left knitting needle and knit both loops with the front one, make a double yarn, knit 2 loops together with the front one.

2 row. Knit along seamy side until 1 loop remains in front of double crochet. Knit 2 loops together with the purl, make a double yarn, remove 2 loops, as in knitting, separately, transfer both loops to the left knitting needle and knit both loops with the purl.

3 row... Knit the right side along the pattern. In each of the double yarns, knit 1 person., 1 purl, picking up both threads.

To make the hole small, skip the 2nd row, and knit the 3rd row on the wrong side.

If, after knitting, the buttonhole is too loose, take a yarn of the right color and sew one or both ends (fig. 7) to make the hole shorter, weaving the thread along the hole so that it does not stretch. You can also stitch the hole with a buttonhole using yarn or sewing thread.

• Even the holes from the crochets of the openwork fabric can be used as loops. Only they need to be secured with a seam over the edge. Small buttonholes are not required. You just need to push the button through the canvas in the right place.

• Which buttonhole you choose depends on the type of clothing, the number of buttons, their size and thread thickness. For example, a jacket with large buttons that is often buttoned up needs large, sturdy buttonholes.

• If possible, buy buttons before making buttonholes. Take a weight loop with loops to determine if the buttons fit. The buttonhole should be large enough for the button to slip into. Since the knitted fabric stretches, the buttons will come undone if the buttonhole is too large. The buttonhole for a flat button must be smaller than the buttonhole for a buttonhole with a foot of the same diameter.

• Mark the location of the buttons on the placket with contrasting thread or a safety pin before sewing the buttonhole. On the opposite placket, sew buttonholes according to the button marks. On women's clothing, buttons are sewn on the left side, on men's clothing - on the right.

• You will need to sew two identical stitches on the folds to match when the placket is folded. To reinforce the buttonhole when knitting with silk or rayon, add cotton thread in color. When making the holes for the buttons, remember that when securing the buttonholes in one row, you must offset them with a set of buttonholes in the next row. The first row is usually done on the front side unless otherwise required by the instructions.

Contrast thread method

Another way to make a button cut is with a contrasting thread. Knit the stitches of the cut with a contrasting thread, return them to the left knitting needle and knit again with a working thread.

1. From wrong side, crochet with a working thread from each loop along the bottom edge of the cut one loop at a time, lift one loop to the side and reshoot these five loops from the hook to the circular knitting needle.

2. Cast on the top edge of the cut in the same way and reshoot onto the circular knitting needle. Break off the thread, leaving an end 20 cm long.

3. Thread the end of the thread into the needle and carefully sew all loops to the fabric. Then remove the contrasting thread.

Double placket buttonholes by Anna Zilboorg

Knit a strap with stocking knit (half the width of the strap). Author MK Lanna_08.made cuts on three loops with an interval of 8 loops.With a contrasting thread, knit 3 loops.

Move the loops to the left knitting needle and knit with the main thread to the next slot, repeat the operation.

Continue knitting stocking (another half of the plank width).

I remind you that the interval between the buttons is 8 loops.
Tie 8 loops, cut the thread, leave the tail 15 cm.

Further in the work 3 loops of the slit on the front side

On the seamy side, cast on 4 loops on an additional knitting needle

Connect the knitting needles, start sewing with a tapestry needle, using a stitch loop into a loop.

I will dwell in more detail on the movement of the needle and thread
In the foreground is the main spoke, in the second there is an additional

1. Main spoke. Insert the needle into the first loop with a movement from the inside to the right side (do not drop the loop.)
2. Auxiliary spoke. Insert the needle into the first loop with a movement from the face to the wrong side, drop the loop, insert it into the second loop from the inside out to the face, leave the loop on the knitting needle.
3. Main knitting needle. Insert the needle into the first loop with a movement from the face to the wrong side, drop the loop, insert into the second loop from the wrong side to the face, leave it on the knitting needle.
4 Secondary spoke. Insert the needle into the first loop with a movement from the face to the wrong side, drop the loop, insert it into the second loop from the inside out to the face, leave the loop on the needle.
5. Main knitting needle. Insert the needle into the first loop with a movement from the face to the wrong side, discard the loop, insert into the second loop from the wrong side to the face, leave it on the knitting needle.
6. Auxiliary spoke. Insert the needle into the first loop with a movement from the face to the wrong side, drop the loop, insert into the second loop from the wrong side to the face, leave the loop on the needle
7. Main spoke. There is one loop left, insert the needle into it with a movement from the face to the wrong side, drop the loop. Insert the needle into the adjacent loop (marked in green) from inside to face.

8. Auxiliary spoke. There is one loop left, insert the needle into it and throw it off.
Here's what happened

Do not use the remaining tail.
Attach the thread from the ball (the point of attachment is indicated by the arrow), knit 8 loops,cut the thread again, leave 15 cm

beyond the loop of the slot - repeat the stitching of the loops using the loop-to-loop method.After completing the row, the face will look like this.

Wrong side

Near each loop, 2 tails, tie together, cut off excess

Next, knit the wrong side, remembering to lift 3 loops on the auxiliary knitting needle from the wrong side.

Continue knitting the plank to the end.

All that remains is to draw out the contrasting thread.

Sew the plank by stitching or in any convenient way.

Knitting methods for double elastic bands

Master Class. Buttonholes with double elastic 3 ways. I show in detail how to knit longitudinal and transverse loops for buttons on a double (hollow) elastic band, it can also be used on a regular canvas. 1 Method: 00:25 2 Method: 11:26 3 Method: 18:07

Hinged buttonholes. Securing the button holes

Hinge hinge: method I

Hanging hinges are made after work is completed and are used when one or two hinges are needed. They are ideal for thin slats and baby clothes.

1. Mark the borders of the buttonhole with pins. Stick the needle and thread first into one, then into the other mark. Pull the thread, leaving a loop of the correct size.

2. Make a double thread by pinching the needle again at the first mark. Depending on the size of the loop, the base can be made in three folds.

3. Overcast the base with a buttonhole. To do this, insert the needle under the warp and above the thread, tighten the loop.

Hinge hinge: method II

It differs from the hinge made in the first way in the appearance of the outer edge. It is carried out with a crochet hook.

1. Mark the end points of the hinge loop. Crochet a loop at the top mark and tie a chain of chain stitches of the desired size.

2. Remove the hook from the loop, insert it into the fabric at the bottom mark, and pull the last loop of the chain through the fabric. Grab the thread and knit.

3. Tie the base of the buttonhole with a row of single crochets. Fasten the last loop and weave the ends into the fabric.

Securing the button hole

Sometimes even the best buttonholes need to be secured. How to do this depends on the thread and the size of the buttonhole. The buttonhole stitch shown in the figure is universal.

Buttonhole seam. Use a whole thread for this technique. Sew the seam from right to left and clockwise, inserting the point of the needle into the center. Do not place the stitches too close, or you may deform the hole.

Over-seam is suitable for small hole-punch holes.

Seam over the edge. Overcast stitches evenly along the entire edge of the hole.

How to crochet hanging loops

After the product is fully connected, the hinged loops are knitted. It is necessary to outline a place for the button, then knit a connecting post and a chain of air loops of the required length, skipping the same number of loops in the bottom row.

Clasp on a knitted blouse -mk

Materials (edit): a needle with a large eye, buttons, cords, machine-tied or crocheted about 5 cm long (depending on the size of the button)

So, a braid bar is sewn on my jacket, and we fix the cord in place of the seam. But if there is no bar, you just need to step back from the edge of the shelf by a couple of centimeters.

Then we make a few stitches from the edge of the plank.

And the result

Invisible buttonhole for large buttons

Often in knitted buttoned items, we knit a loop for a button very simply: two loops together and a yarn over. This buttonhole is very neat, small and invisible. But for such a buttonhole and buttons should be small. What to do when the buttons are much larger, the placket is wider, and the product itself is a coat, a large loose cardigan or large buttons are determined by the design itself, and at the same time, you want the buttonholes to be beautiful, neat and inconspicuous.

Buttonholes or buttonholes are a necessary element of knitted items such as sweaters, jackets, coats, cardigans, etc.
When you have already mastered socks, hats and sweaters, before you try your hand at knitting things that should be fastened with buttons, any knitter will probably be interested to know how best to sew button loops so that they look neat and are located right.

First, you should consider the simple rules for knitting such things.

When calculating the loops, it must be remembered that both shelves, both the right and the left, should overlap a little.

This kind of overlap forms the button strip. Usually the pattern used for the button strip is different from the pattern used for the entire shelf.

In addition, it is advisable to initially decide which buttons will decorate your product. In particular, whether they will only carry a functional load, or will they be able to serve as an additional decoration for your product. Of course, you can just buy the buttons. However, if you want the buttons to be decorative as well, you should consider how to tie the button with threads. After all, knitted buttons will make your product even more unique.

The loops can be knitted both horizontal and vertical, and here we invite you to get acquainted with the ways of their implementation. And which of these methods to choose for yourself, you decide for yourself.

Sewing horizontal loops

To begin with, let us draw your attention to the fact that horizontal loops when performing them should not be located exactly in the middle of the front of the product. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the button will extend beyond the edge of the placket. To prevent this from happening, the horizontal loops are slightly shifted to the side opposite to the edge of the plank.
This rule does not apply when you need to make very small loops. For example, on a children's blouse.

It is this case that we propose to consider first.

The so-called hole-loop is made with only 1 yarn over. In a certain place on the bar, which is knitted with a 1x1 elastic band, a yarn is made, and the purl loop is knitted on the face along with the loop following it. Turning the knitting, knit the crochet with the front one and then knit according to the elastic pattern until the edge of the plank is reached.

A buttonhole on two yarns is usually performed in cases where the strap is knitted with a 2x2 elastic band. To do this, 1 front loop and 1 purl loop must be knitted together with a tilt to the left. Next, throw two loops onto the working needle. The second purl should be tied together with the next stitch on the face.... In the next row of two yarns, 1 must be knitted with the front one, and the second with the crossed front. Thus, crossing the elastic line with a loop looks neat and does not distort the pattern.

In other cases, the number of crochets that need to be made should be equal to the number of knitting loops closed to form a buttonhole. You can knit a horizontally located buttonhole in two rows or in one.
In order to make a horizontal buttonhole in two rows, it is necessary to knit several loops from the edge in the front row, close the required number of loops along the course of knitting and then continue working to the end of the row. The purl row is easy to knit according to the pattern. Having reached the future buttonhole, throw on the working knitting needle a number of air loops equal to that which were closed in the front row. We can say that the loop is already ready. It remains only to finish knitting the strap.

It is advisable to knit the loops dialed instead of closed ones on the face behind the back wall. This will make the edges of the loop tighter.
You can knit a buttonhole horizontally and knit 1 row. To do this, the loops that will form the buttonhole must be closed without using a working thread. This can be done quite easily by stretching the loops one by one into the other. You can use a crochet hook. The last of the loops closed in this way must be transferred to the left knitting needle. Then on the working knitting needle, throw an equal number of closed loops and continue knitting further.

Vertical buttonholes

Vertical buttonholes are ideal for items in which the placket is knitted at the same time as the shelf. In this case, the buttonhole should be located exactly in the middle of the front of the product, and therefore in the middle of the strap.
You can also knit such a loop in two ways.

The first is to knit the loops of half of the plank from the front side and transfer them to an additional knitting needle or pin. Next, knit a number of rows. For example, 6 or 8. The working thread should remain on the side of the future buttonhole.

Further, an additional ball of thread is introduced into the work (you should take care of it in advance). With it, you need to knit the rest of the loops. In this case, it is necessary to knit 2 rows less than the height to which the main part of the shelf is knitted and cut off the inserted thread, leaving a tail 3-4 cm long from the side of the buttonhole. Now you just need to connect both halves of the plank and continue to knit with a working thread to the place where the next loop will be.

The second method of making buttonholes vertically does not require the introduction of additional thread into the work. However, you need to start knitting the buttonhole in the same way. That is, you need to leave half of the strap loops on a pin or additional knitting needle. As an example, consider the execution of a vertical buttonhole with a height of 5 rows.

So, leaving the estimated number of loops on the pin, you should knit 6 rows of the part of the shelf remaining on the working knitting needles (1 row more than the height we need). Leave the working thread on the side of the future buttonhole... Next, you need to thread the working needle counterclockwise. At the same time, there should be as many turns - just turns, and not dialed loops - as many rows as the shelf was knitted. In our case, there are 5 of them.

Next, it was the turn to tie the loops left on the pin. To do this, turning knitting, knit only these loops. In this case, each time, knit the outermost of the loops from the side of the buttonhole together with one of the turns of the thread. This will align and close the edges of the plank. You will be able to continue knitting the shelf to the place where the next button will be.

Perhaps your plans include knitting a double-breasted model. Horizontal buttonholes are more suitable for it. And in what way you do them: in two rows or in one - you choose.

Of course, you can spend some time shopping and choosing the right buttons for your product. However, having spent perhaps a little more time, you can easily make knitted buttons for your model yourself. At the same time, initially it can be buttons, even of any color, which are simply lying around in your "bins". The main thing for them is the same diameter and method of attachment to the fabric.

With the help of a crochet hook or the same knitting needles, you can create buttons that not only match perfectly in color, but also perfectly fit into the style of your item. You can easily find tips on how to knit a button on our website.

Mark first, then knit

Before you start, decide exactly how many loops you need for each hole and how far apart they should be. To avoid tangling while knitting, place the markers on the knitting needles or attach to the knitted fabric before knitting the holes.

Horizontal buttonholes especially good for garter stitch where they can be hidden between two ribs. A tight buttonhole is a little more difficult than a free buttonhole because the yarn is woven between the two buttonholes to prevent the buttonhole from stretching. Choose one of the two buttonholes that best suits your button.

Tight buttonhole

This instruction is for a hole with three stitches, but you can use as many stitches as you need. It is best to make a hole on an odd number of loops. The words "thread before work" and "thread at work" mean that you must pull the thread between the two ends of the needles, either forward or backward. Nakida is not done here; they don't add loops. Bind off 1 stitch means that you have to pull the second stitch on the right knitting needle through the first. To close the loops, you do not need to knit extra loops.

1. Thread before work, remove 1 loop, thread at work, remove 1 loop, close 1 loop, thread before work, remove 1 loop, thread at work, close 1 loop, remove 1 loop, close 1 loop. Remove the last stitch from the left needle.

2. Cast on 4 chain stitches. Remove the last cast from the right knitting needle.

3. Close 1 loop. Thread (before work, remove 1 loop, thread at work, remove 1 loop, thread before work, remove 1 loop, thread at work.

The button hole is complete. Continue knitting the buttonholes along the entire row.

Loose buttonhole

This hole can be knitted on any number of stitches.

Tie to where you want to make the hole.

1. Close the required number of loops. Continue knitting to the end of the row.

2. When in the next row you reach the gap formed by the closed loops, cast on the same number of loops with the air loops. Continue knitting to the end of the row.

You can make an even more neat button hole. If after the last closed or dialed loop there is a long broach, in the second and third rows, pick up the broach, twist it and put it on the left knitting needle. Knit the broach together with the next loop, thereby tightening it, In the third row, knit the dialed loops with the front loops so that they twist

Buttonhole inside elastic 1 in 1

The vertical button holes are unobtrusive in elastic. They disappear wonderfully in the purl loops of the elastic.

1 row. Knit the elastic along the wrong side. Where you want to make a hole, knit two from each loop.

2 row. On the front side, knit according to the pattern until 1 loop remains before the addition loop. Remove 2 loops, as in knitting, separately, transfer both loops to the left knitting needle and knit both loops with the front one. Make a double yarn over, knit 2 loops together with the front one.

3 row. Knit along the seamy side. When 1 loop remains before the double crochet, knit 2 loops together with the purl, make a crochet. Remove 2 loops, as in knitting, separately, transfer both loops to the left knitting needle and knit both loops with a purl.

4 row. Knit in pattern from right side, purl each button hole, grabbing both strands of yarn.

1 row. Knit on the front side until there is 1 front loop to the 2 purl loops, where the hole for the loop will be located. Remove 2 loops as in knitting, separately, transfer both loops to the left knitting needle and knit both loops with the front one, make a double yarn, knit 2 loops together with the front one.

2 row. Knit along seamy side until 1 loop remains in front of double crochet. Knit 2 loops together with the purl, make a double yarn, remove 2 loops, as in knitting, separately, transfer both loops to the left knitting needle and knit both loops with the purl.

3 row. Knit the right side along the pattern. In each of the double yarns, knit 1 person., 1 purl, picking up both threads.

To make the hole small, skip the 2nd row, and knit the 3rd row on the wrong side.

If after knitting buttonhole too loose take a yarn of a suitable color and sew one or both ends (fig. 7) to make the hole shorter, weaving along the hole so that it does not stretch. You can also stitch the hole with a buttonhole using yarn or sewing thread.
