How to make a large buttonhole

Keywords: button hole,

In this DROPS video we show an easy way to create a large buttonhole in a knitted garment.

Adjust the number of sts that you bind off/cast on to the size of your button. In a thinner yarn you need to cast of more sts and in a thicker yarn less.

You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns where you can use this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

The video above can be used in the following patterns

Hi, I did see the collar, but it was not possible to pick up 24 stitches. So I picked up and adjusted. Am not 100% happy, but I have had enough with this sweater and do want to finish it. Now am about to sew on the buttons. How do i sew it so it looks like the photo. Seems like the tip of the collar is buttonedbut there is no buttonhole where it would be natural for the color to be buttoned? Are the buttons sewn at the edge of the moss stitch and st.st. S S

The knitter has cast on two stitches using backwards loops. Look at the video "Cast on - with loops". My comment: This doesn't make a very nice looking buttonhole.
