Buttonholes
Check the button width in comparison with the stitches. From this number of stitches,remove one stitch.Ex:a 18mm (14")button corresponds to3stsinstockinette st,buttonhole stitcheswill be 2wide. 1. On right side of work. 2. Knit to the desired spot for the buttonhole. With yarn in front of work, sl the 1st st from left needle to right needle, as if to purl. Place yarn in back of work. 4. Sl next st from left needle to right needle, as if to purl. Pass 1s st over 2"d st. Repeat until the calculated number of sts is binded. Sl last sl st from right needle to left needle. 5. Turn work (wrong side). Cast the calculated number of st plus one with your favorite method or the one shown here: a. With yarn in the back of work b. Insert right needle between the first 2 sts on left needle. Yarn over right needle and draw through a loop. Sl the new st on left needle. C. Repeat till you have the calculated number of sts plus one. d. For the extra st, put yarn in front of work before sl st on left needle. 6. Turn work (right side). With yarn behind work, sl 1st st from left needle to right needle. Pass 2"d st on right needle over sl st to close the buttonhole. 7. Continue knitting with next st.
Finishina
Weave in ends, wash and block work (or kill for acry Fold work in two on right side. Align the beginning of work with the end of the cables. Sew each side to close the bag. Sew the buttons in the center of the first 10 rows by making sure they are aligned with the buttonholes.
