Thanks for posting this. I've been using this buttonhole since I began knitting 36 plus years ago and am always worried about losing my instructions. Now I won't need to worry so much.
I couldn't make sense of the written pattern no matter how hard I tried. This video was super fast and super easy to do and understand. Thank you to the RUclipsr that made this video. It helped me to finish the main part of a project gift just in time for school for a buddy's 10 year old daughter.
OMG what a fool I have been. You make it look so easy and it is. I can not thank you enough, I have only been knitting for 2months now and I thought i would never learn to do a button hole. Your great so great at teaching how to do something. You did it slow enough and spoke very well and that is so hard to find in learning video's. I love your work in this, you made me feel relaxed and like I have done this for year's .Thank you so very much your the first person I have seen that teaches well.
I used this about 6 months ago, and my button holes turned out perfect. I'm back again for a refresher and more button hole. It's perfect; the directions are clear. It's easier than it looks.
Finally a video that has helped me succeed with my button hole after 4 attempts. I don't know what it was with your video but it Finally clicked & now I have my button hole. Thank you so much !!
The video was very clear and simple. THANKYOU for this! And thanks for the tip to add extra stitch when casting on, cause most of the patterns don't say that. It's my 1ST time to try buttonholes after 40 yrs NOT knitting and not knitting cardigans before too. 🥀🧶🧶🥀
Thank you so much for making this video. I go so long between projects that require special techniques that I completely forget how to do them. Great tutorial!
Thank you! After lots of tries...and failures...I found this video and have successfully put 6 buttonholes in my very first sweater....which is almost done!! Yay!
I found this was similar to other tutorials BUT this one shows how to reinforce both sides of the button hole, which makes a nice and neat appearance. Thank you!!
For the second part (cable cast on) I just helped myself with a crochet hook. With knitting needles I just destroyed my yarn (and my nerves) so I decided to make my life easier. :) Great video, I love it.
Thanks so much! I've been trying to learn to knit about 8 weeks now and youtube has really help this 'learn-by-seeing' gal. The cryptic insttructions in a book just done help me most times!
A fabulous instruction! To remember it, I had to watch it again twice, but it made the procedure perfectly clear and it's result is a very stable, good looking button hole! Thank you very much! :D
Thank you for your instructions. I worked a buttonhole in my sweater following this older pattern I have and realized after knitting so many rows I did not like the way the buttonhole looked. Needless to say I ripped out the rows including the buttonhole. I came across your video and am looking forward to knitting a buttonhole that looks like yours. Thanks again for sharing.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! So very much! Very easy to understand and follow. I was unable to follow written instructions. I am a late bloomer knitting wise and I find I do not retain instructions well, so I use your video for every buttonhole! I can't say how much I appreciate your video.
Thank you so much for this, I use this video every time I make buttonholes, and share it with my knitting friends. Your videos are my “go to” for knitting!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I'd never done a buttonhole before, and the pattern instructions for the purse I'm making called for a two-row buttonhole that just didn't look right no matter what I tried, so I ripped it out and looked for alternatives. I'm so glad I found this video! I followed your demonstration with ease and my buttonhole turned out great. :)
This video helped me a lot. Your instructions are clear, I can see what you're doing, the pace is good, and I can hear you well. Thank you for your video, and because it was so well done, and so helpful, I subscribed. I will most definitely be checking out more of your videos.
And to think that just four minutes and twenty-four seconds ago, I had no clue how to knit button holes. Now I am a button-hole expert, thanks to this great tutorial. THANKS!!!
I knitted fingerless gloves with dpns and wanted a buttonhole for the thumb. This was a very good tutorial and I completed my project successfully using your buttonhole instructions. Many thanks!
Thank you! I have made about 15 buttonholes on this cardigan with sucky instructions, and none have looked as good as the one I just made following your instructions.
WOW! I'm so grateful for videos demonstrating knitting as I'm an eager dedicated beginning learning as much as I can, because I love it! Thank you for helping me figuring out how to make a button hole - yeah! Very clear, easy and simple.
Thanks so very much for your helpful tutorial. I did a practice swatch in half linen stitch & the buttonhole came out perfectly. :) Thanks again, you are a great instructor! :)
After looking at several different video's, this was the best one! instuctions were very clear and my button hole came out perfect! and i'm a first time knitter.Thank you very much for sharing:)
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial. I was trying to teach myself how to make a button hole from "Knitting for Dummies", and the conclusion I came to was that only Dummies would do it the way they did it in the book! lol. Your tutorial was great! The pacing was wonderful, the directions were clear, and this is my best buttonhole ever. Many thanks again!
You don't show it, but most RUclips knitters put the last slipped stitch (with the last cast on stitch bound off over it) back onto the left needle and knit into it. This makes a massive difference to how that edge of the hole looks and removes the large float you get by just knitting into the next one.
thank you so much! this really helped me. I was trying to follow written directions and I just couldn't figure it out. the video is exactly what I needed.
This is the best video on button hole making that I have ever seen. You are so clear and ....what else can I say. thank you for doing this. This Video is perfect!! Thanks again! Kathy
Thank you SOOO very much for making this video. Your videos are always helpful but especially this time - I am making my first cardigan and was feeling very lost with the written instructions I have. Your slow and clear instructions are so great for techniques like this which are sort of confusing until you see them. Thanks again - you don't know what a help you are! :)
Thank you for this! I'm knitting the button band on my first steeked cardigan and the simple (k2tog&yo) buttonholes I'd made in the past weren't working at all for this sweater... and the patterns instructions made no sense to me... this method is working fabulously though!
Thank you! Nice video and clear instructions. I'm a beginning knitter so I can only do very basic projects and this made perfect sense to me. I'm finishing up a simple glasses case for my dad for Christmas and I decided to be adventurous and add a button. This really helped me out!
I've never done a button hole before and was getting so confused that my work did not look right and of course from your video I have found out that yes I was doing mostly wrong hahahah Thank you so much my problem is solved
Thank you so much for this video! I just read some text only tutorials on making button holes and I was like 'whaaaat..?!' but now I understand it :D Yay! I'm gonna try this out asap!
I tried this. I did not find it as tidy looking or easy as a two row button hole... which I simply made up myself... though I have never made button holes so it was a great place to start. Thanks!
This is the BEST video and my buttonhole is a thing of beauty lol. Other methods I have used have left gaping holes at either side. My jaw is still agape
I have instructions that basically use the bind off and cast on - but they don't tell you how to do this - turn work, pass over stitches, etc. This just cleared up everything. Now I have to try and see if I can do it. Rip first.
Excellent! Thank you. Just a quick question. Should all buttonholes be completed from the front of your work or does that really matter? I would think, yes. That they should be done on the front of your piece. jan
The best buttonhole method I've come across, and the simplest, and you can make it what size you want. Excellent tutorial, really clear! Thank you.
Thanks for posting this. I've been using this buttonhole since I began knitting 36 plus years ago and am always worried about losing my instructions. Now I won't need to worry so much.

Thanks! I had trouble with the written directions but the video helped clear everything up. Got it the first time.
Thank you so much for making this video. I go so long between projects that require special techniques that I completely forget how to do them. Great tutorial!
looked at a few step by step guides and videos and this is by far the easiest to understand. Thank you!

I found this was similar to other tutorials BUT this one shows how to reinforce both sides of the button hole, which makes a nice and neat appearance. Thank you!!
An awesome tutorial! I'm glad that they don't take down old videos. :)
A wonderful tutorial for both experienced and novice knitters! The visual sets easily into the mind in step method. Thank you very much!
Great instructions! Very easy to follow and do on my own. I refer back to this video each time I need to make a button hole.
I've been reading explinations and looking at pictures for hours, but I was able to follow along with you the first time, thank you so much!
I've been knitting for many years and I fogot how I used to make a quick and simple buttonhole. Thanks for the video!!
For the second part (cable cast on) I just helped myself with a crochet hook. With knitting needles I just destroyed my yarn (and my nerves) so I decided to make my life easier. :) Great video, I love it.
I keep coming back to your video. Thank you for your teaching 💜💜💜🌻🌷

Thank you so much. I just knitted a baby sweater after 25 years, and neeeded some help with the buttonholes. You are a great teacher.
And to think that just four minutes and twenty-four seconds ago, I had no clue how to knit button holes. Now I am a button-hole expert, thanks to this great tutorial. THANKS!!!
I spent hours trying to make a button hole in a pattern I was doing and this video had me making the buttonhole in minutes.
I knitted fingerless gloves with dpns and wanted a buttonhole for the thumb. This was a very good tutorial and I completed my project successfully using your buttonhole instructions. Many thanks!
This is awesome! I just used this method on a pair of fingerless gloves I am working on. I was stumped on the thumb and this worked perfectly. Thanks!
EXCELLENT demonstration and great idea to write out and keep in knitting 'bag of tricks!'
This video is very helpful. I appreciate how the instructions are so full, and that it is slow enough for me to follow along. Thank you!
Thank you I have been knitting for over 50 years but my buttonholes were never as neat as this so I will be using the way you have shown from now on.
Thank you! I have made about 15 buttonholes on this cardigan with sucky instructions, and none have looked as good as the one I just made following your instructions.
WOW! I'm so grateful for videos demonstrating knitting as I'm an eager dedicated beginning learning as much as I can, because I love it! Thank you for helping me figuring out how to make a button hole - yeah! Very clear, easy and simple.

OMG this works this works!!!!!!!!!!!! This lady is amazing, thanks so much I have made my first ever button hole!!!
terrific video, very well done..I tried reading several different sites and sets of instructions and could not get it until I saw yours! Thank you!
Ive been using this method to creat large aesthetic holes in patterns, and I mean 15-20 stitches across. Thabks for this video!
Thank you so much. I am relatively new to knitting sweaters, the two patterns I have done didn't produce a pretty button hole. Your method does.
Great video. I wanted to find out how to make an armhole for doll clothes and I believe this buttonhole will work out perfectly for what I need.
This is exactly what I needed. Just wish I would have seen it sooner. Thank you!!!
Thanks, this is really clear unstruction and very helpful! Gotta start knitting.
Thank you so much,,, I've been so scared to do a Button hole. But now with your video it's way so easy, thank you can't be said enough..!!!
That was very helpful as I bought an english pattern for the first time and I didn't understand that part. Thank you!
Love this ... much neater than a 2-row button hole. Thank you!
Thank you! This was so helpful. I kept reading my pattern and wasn't getting anywhere. Your video made everything so clear.
these are the easiest instructions I have found, great job!
Thank you, I’d forgotten how to do this. Your video was very helpful.
I'm bookmarking this!! Cable cast-on was the key... thank you!!
After looking at several different video's, this was the best one! instuctions were very clear and my button hole came out perfect! and i'm a first time knitter.Thank you very much for sharing:)

Your explanations and gentle voice guide me through many a confused situation. I really appreciate your videos.

This makes a massive difference to how that edge of the hole looks and removes the large float you get by just knitting into the next one.
I wondered why I was getting that horizontal piece of yarn, thanks for the tip.
Thank you for the great tip. It works beautifully!
thank you so much! this really helped me. I was trying to follow written directions and I just couldn't figure it out. the video is exactly what I needed.
Thank you! Finally, buttonholes that make sense! :) Excellent tutorial.
That's an awesome buttonhole. No gaps and easy! Thank you!
This is the best video on button hole making that I have ever seen. You are so clear and ....what else can I say. thank you for doing this. This Video is perfect!! Thanks again! Kathy
Excellent video! Just done an eight stitch buttonhole and it's perfect. Best buttonhole ever.
Duidelijke uitleg hier kan ik wat mee 😊dankjewel Gods rijke zegen en groetjes uit Zijd Limburg Nl
Amy has basically taught me how to knit. Thanks, Amy!
Thank you SOOO very much for making this video. Your videos are always helpful but especially this time - I am making my first cardigan and was feeling very lost with the written instructions I have. Your slow and clear instructions are so great for techniques like this which are sort of confusing until you see them. Thanks again - you don't know what a help you are! :)
This helped me with my project (which I didn't have a pattern for). Thanks! Short scarf with a button coming up!! 👌
Thank you so much! I am a complete beginner and I have just knit my first button hole thanks to this video.
Brilliant. I've only started knitting the last few weeks and this has helped so much.
Thank you for this! I'm knitting the button band on my first steeked cardigan and the simple (k2tog&yo) buttonholes I'd made in the past weren't working at all for this sweater... and the patterns instructions made no sense to me... this method is working fabulously though!
very cool, I've never seen a button hole done this way. I like that it's reinforced. Thanks for this!
Thank you! Nice video and clear instructions. I'm a beginning knitter so I can only do very basic projects and this made perfect sense to me. I'm finishing up a simple glasses case for my dad for Christmas and I decided to be adventurous and add a button. This really helped me out!
Thank you. I understand now and it worked perfectly. Your video explains it so well, it was easy to follow your instructions!
I've never done a button hole before and was getting so confused that my work did not look right and of course from your video I have found out that yes I was doing mostly wrong hahahah Thank you so much my problem is solved
Thank you so much.. Awesome work.
I'll try it right away.
Thanx again for sharing this.
Thank you so much for this video! I just read some text only tutorials on making button holes and I was like 'whaaaat..?!' but now I understand it :D Yay! I'm gonna try this out asap!
This video has saved me so many times. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Thank you - I have always thought a one-row buttonhole was beyond me but now I think I can give it a try!
thank you thank you thank you! I was stuck on the button hole on a sweater and needed to see it being done.
Loved the demo. Nice and clear. Thank you for the tutorial.
I like that much better than yarn over buttonholes. Thanks.
I tried this. I did not find it as tidy looking or easy as a two row button hole... which I simply made up myself... though I have never made button holes so it was a great place to start. Thanks!
Thank you for your tutorial. It has been of great help. Greetings from Ecuador.
great info and easy instructions to follow. Thanks a lot for posting.
This method is so much more secure than the "yo" buttonhole. Thank you!!!!
Thank you very much, I could not figure out the instructions from a book, this clip is wonderful!
Thank you, that was EXACTLY what I was looking for!!
Very helpful! And also can you kindly tell me about the yarn youre working with its composition and brand. Thank you
This is the BEST video and my buttonhole is a thing of beauty lol. Other methods I have used have left gaping holes at either side. My jaw is still agape
cool. i've been really struggling with button holes but this looks much more simple.
I have instructions that basically use the bind off and cast on - but they don't tell you how to do this - turn work, pass over stitches, etc. This just cleared up everything. Now I have to try and see if I can do it. Rip first.
Excellent! Thank you. Just a quick question. Should all buttonholes be completed from the front of your work or does that really matter? I would think, yes. That they should be done on the front of your piece. jan
Very helpful and to the point video. Many thanks
Thank you very much! Although 12 years over still very helpfull . Best wishes 💚🌏💚 Katja
Great! A simple instruction that works. Thank you 😀
Método sensacional...
Delicadeza heim!!!
Vou seguir essa ideia, em meus trabalhos...
Perfeito acabamento...
Parabéns
Your tutorial was great, thank you. It's very easy to follow!
Very simple and easy! Thanks! Also do you have to have a bigger hole for a bigger button, even though the yarn stretches?
Thanks for this it helps
Thank you so much for all your videos they have helped me so much
