For the last couple of weeks I have been struggling with accomplishing a buttonhole for the Prairie Boots by CocoKnits. The pattern is great, well-written, however it uses a two-row buttonhole that I find to be sloppy. Granted, in the heavy fabric of this boot it will not be that noticeable, but I wanted a neater, cleaner look.
Yesterday at my Knit O Rama class, the gal that is making the Prairie Boots and I tried again from the instructions that I had found at Knit Picks for the one-row buttonhole and we still had problems with it.
I had seen Lucy Neatby do this buttonhole on her Knitting Essentials 1 video. I had looked all over the Internet to find a version but until today had not been lucky. I finally found one at YouTube and practiced along with it to be sure it works. It does! and here is where you can find The one-row buttonhole.
One more knitting nemesis conquered. My weekend is going good now. I hope yours is as well.
