This is amazing!! Thank you so much. I have stopped making cardigans because I don’t like picking up the stitches. Yay!❤️
Thank you, Barbara! I'm happy I could help you find an alternative way yo attach a button band. Maybe this little method will inspire you to cast on for a new cardigan :-)
i like this method for a button band, it is neat & simple. Thank you so much for showing us❤
You are most welcome, Susan :-) Happy knitting!
Thanks so much for showing this method! So helpful!
I wish I had come across this a loooooooong time ago! 😂 Genious and elegant !!!!
Thank you, Elwie :-) I'm glad you like this little trick. Happy knitting, my friend!
Brilliant! Thank you for your tutorials - they are all so helpful.
This is the clearest explanation I've found so far for join-as-you-go button bands. Thank you very much!
Thank you, Tere :-) Happy knitting!
My mom would have been so excited to see this! ❤️
Absolutely ingenious! And as a bonus, I now have a better understanding of the slip-stitch selvage! 😁
This is a nicer way of making/attaching the button band!
Brilliant as always. Thank you.
I, too, wish I had known about this method before! I felt so frustrated every time i had to attach button bands on my cardigans, it never looked nice and flat the first time around, it was either too tight giving the edge a puckered up look, or made the edge all wavy. I had to redo my button bands so many times to get them right. Now i know how To do them correctly! Thank you so much!
I'm so happy I help you find an alternative way to make button bands. No more puckered or flared out bands :-)
Thanks so much, as always. Your videos are so well explained and give me the confidence I need.
Thanks!
Thank you, Kathryn :-) I appreciate your help.
Dear Maryna, please show us how to make the button hole in the band. Thank you for your tutorial !!!
Dear Mayita. I explained one of my most favourite ways to make a button hole in a tutorial at www.10rowsaday.com/one-row-buttonhole I hope you will find it helpful. Happy knitting!

Thank you! ❤
Love yr tutos 🙏🏼💞❣️💞
I love your tutorials, they’re so easy to follow and so much easier to work with than other ways. I hate button bands and am always struggling with buttonholes- they never look neat enough!
The slip stitch gives a really lovely edge although I’m not sure I coped with it when I had to cast off stitches at an armhole shaping. I’m going to see if you cover that in your tutorial but if not, would you consider it please? Thanks
Thank you for the kind words, Brenda :-) I'm really glad my tutorials make sense to you. Thank you!
As to binding off selvedge stitches, in most cases, we treat them as normal stitches in the bind off row. That means that instead of slipping the first stitch you would knit it. Happy knitting!
If the project is knitted in a smaller size ribbing with a larger size stockinette for the body, and the button band uses the smaller size needles, wouldn't that not work evenly even with the slipped stitch edging? I'll need to do some experimentation on swatches.
Hi Audrey. You are right - swatching is the best way to tell. A lot depends on the difference between the needle sizes, the fibre content of the yarn and the effect you want to achieve. In some cases, it is good to have a button band a bit tighter than the main fabric. Happy knitting, my friend!
Lovely as always Maryna! What yarn do you use for your swatches? I believe you told me before but I cannot remember. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for another great tutorial!💞
Thank you Thea :-) As to the yarn, I use Knitca Chunky in Golden and Cobalt Blue colours. Happy knitting, my friend!
Thank you Maryna!!
Why does one not create the button/buttonhole band while working the pieces themselves?
It all depends on the design of a project. Plus, when we work the project separately from the button band, we don't have to worry about placing the button holes in a correct spot. But of course, it is possible (and not that hard!) to make the button bands at the same time as we make the main fabric of the project. Happy knitting :-)
Thanks!
Thank you so much, my friend :-)
