Thank you for this tutorial, it's like magic and you are the wizard. I am really glad that you are a professional knitter, or TKGA accredited. I enjoy doing knitting correctly and making things look nice, which I can with your help. Thank you again.
The best explanation ever! I especially like how you explained the best side to do the buttonhole on when it comes to different stitch patterns. Thank you very much!
This was absolutely the clearest video on buttonholes. I think you need to add to your written instructions, after CO cable cast on stitches +1, to turn the work again. I had to watch a few times to catch that. But the instructions I paid for from [ahem] left out key things like returning a stitch to the left needle. So I owe you a coffee!
Thank you so much Roxxane! This was really helpful with some great explanation. Couldn't figure out how to do buttonholes and your tutorial saved my knit:)
I finally learned how to do buttonholes . Your instructions are so clear. Thank you for being the greatest teacherI have encountered....because Details are necessary to the learning experience. I prefer the buttonhole worked from the purl side as well.
Thank you Roxanne! I have been trying to do One Row Buttonhole as per 'Vogue Knitting The Ultimate Quick Reference - 2019' - no successes. Your video is very clear - I did it!
Thank you so much for your video! I learned a lot by watching you. You explained it very well and I love you work as well. That blue lace scarf is very lovely. Great work! 👍❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your response. If you have any kind of list you keep for things to do, I would love to be on the list for this scarf. It is really eye-catching. And I might actually wear it. I make so many things just because they are interesting and a learning opportunity that I often give away things once they have served their purpose; but this scarf is just perfect. Thanks again
I was making an updated Gansey jumper, with a stand-up collar that had a row of buttons on the left shoulder. It's an oldie but goodie--mid 1980s pattern from Knitters' Magazine. The magazine has been out of print for some time, for good reason (bad editing, patterns not test knitted). It's a really nice men's jumper--and men really do like it. I made another jumper in the same pattern, for this young man's brother. I had to modify the pattern so that it's proportions were more traditional (bottom ribbing band was way too large). One of the things I didn't like about the pattern was the buttonholes the designer called for. I was going to have to modify that part of the pattern anyway, because the buttons I had that worked with the overall design of the jumper are larger than what the pattern called for. So, I did a quick search of YT, to see if someone had a better method than the one I knew. Lo and behold, I found this video and I made five really nice buttonholes--and a new favorite way to make row buttonholes. Thanks.
Thank you so much Roxanne for a wonderful tutorial. I'm knitting a Sanqhar pattern sweater with buttons on the collar and I had know idea how to do the button holes, you made it easy, I don't know why I was so worried. Thanks again.
Thank you so much I'm making a waist coat and I want detachable sleeves with the buttons on the dropped shoulder of the waistcoat and the button holes on the tops of the sleeves
Great explanation, I managed to knit some pretty neat buttonholes. However on a single rib band I found I couldn’t keep the pattern. Sometimes I ended up with two knit or pearl stitches together. What am I doing wrong. I’m all swatched out 🤷♀️
Great tutorial. Thank you Roxanne. I would also love the pattern for your pretty blue scarf. Maybe you could teach us the blocks of stitches as a Friday tutorial. (:
Oh so wish I had found your video before. I always have a piece of "scrap" knitting to hand so tried your method. Problem I have now is, do I unpick around 400 stitches to do your button hole or leave it as is but remember to use yours the next time.
Hi Roxanne, thanks for making such informative videos. Also, I was very sorry to hear of your health issues. I hope you get better soon! If its not too much trouble I was wondering if you might be able to help in directing me to the patterns used in the blue scarf (I can see you use Flemish block lace for one panel and something that looks like a raspberry/trinity stitch in another) But I'm not familiar with the others. In particular I love the chevron panels at the end, I can't find any pattern like them anywhere. Any help would be most appreciated!
All of the patterns are from Barbara Walker's Treasuries (I don't recall if they are all from the same volume, or from different volumes). There's no Trinity stitch in the scarf, as they are all lace patterns. The chevron pattern is Pearl-Barred Scallop, from Walker's first Treasury.
Those are actually green - they are Signature Needles Arts US 6 32'' fixed length circular needles. (Each needle size is a different color). I don't think they make the fixed length circs anymore, just the tips with interchangeable cables.
I am knitting an Aran cardigan. My button band is k1 P1 but it is vertical not horizontal. What button hole should I do? Do you have a tutorial on it? Thank you. Take care everyone and stay safe 😘😊🤗
Does your pattern include instructions for a buttonhole? You can do any type of buttonhole you want (horizontal, vertical, or YO). It just depends on how large the buttonhole needs to be for the buttons you plan to use, and whether you are trying to hide the hole in a column of purl sts, etc. There is no should or shouldn't.
@@RoxanneRichardson The pattern just says cast off two then cast on two over the cast off stitches. I did this but I kept having an extra line down when I did that. I always have problems doing buttonholes.
Question on the orientation of the yarn when slipping stitches when you are starting with a purl on ribbing as opposed to a knit stitch. Do you still hold the yarn in front or do you hold it opposite what the stitch would call for in this situation? I am doing this on 2x2 ribbing and having some difficulty getting it to look correct. Probably user error. LOL! Thanks in advance.
Well, you could try it the opposite way, and see what you get. The point is to wrap that stitch, and then before you pass sts over each other, you'll need the yarn in the back.
Thanks for doing these videos. I find all of them very helpful. Could you please tell me where I could find the pattern for the blue lace scarf that you were wearing in this video? Thanks.
I keep getting a gap just to the right of the buttonhole. I'm knitting in the round, so when I come back around to the buttonhole, there is a significant hole before the first new cast on stitch. Any ideas?
The extra stitch is eliminated when you pass a stitch over to complete the button hole. It creates a neater closure/corner. Essentially you BO X sts, CO X+1, BO 1.
Maybe it's my computer, but your dark yarn is very hard to see on my screen. I can't see each stitch that you work. A light colored yarn would be much better for this demonstration. Thank you.

I have been watching your videos for some time and I found yours were the best in terms of detailed explanations with attached written ones. Thanks
Explained in detail and very clearly how to make buttonhole. U made it so easy
Thanks Roxanne - the single row buttonhole technique is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!
Thank you so much Roxxane! This was really helpful with some great explanation. Couldn't figure out how to do buttonholes and your tutorial saved my knit:)
Wow. You are masterful at explaining knitting. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. I understand how to make button holes bigger. It works out great. I am practicing.
Roxanne, thank you, thank you for teaching me buttonholes. It took few tries, wee many tries but I think that now I can knit buttonhole blindfolded
I finally learned how to do buttonholes . Your instructions are so clear. Thank you for being the greatest teacherI have encountered....because Details are necessary to the learning experience. I prefer the buttonhole worked from the purl side as well.

Dear Roxanne, thank you so much for this extremely helpful and explanatory video! I'm not much of a knitter, but I'm getting there!
Thank you for the information on buttonholes, your video is really good for someone that is a visual learner.
Thank you very much, after watching a few other videos and getting frustrated, your demo was so clear and logical. It worked yey!
Thanks so much for the example and explanation! You make it look so easy. Buttonholes are my nemisis, - can't wait to try it out on my next project.
Thank you very much for clearly understood video. You make it look so easy👏
Thank you! It's perfect!
Thank you for great illustration and instructions!
Best buttonhole tutorial
That is such a gorgeous scarf. That is art! You’re amazing. Thank you for the video!
Thank you so much for your video! I learned a lot by watching you. You explained it very well and I love you work as well. That blue lace scarf is very lovely. Great work! 👍❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome!
Roxanne Richardson I’m actually working on a project now that will require 4 buttons holes!
Thank you so much for your response. If you have any kind of list you keep for things to do, I would love to be on the list for this scarf. It is really eye-catching. And I might actually wear it.

Well, my first button hole looks pretty darn good, Roxanne. Thank you again for your assistance. jan
Great tutorial!
You are a wonderful teacher
Thank you, very easy to follow.
Great instructions. I used this on the button holes for my heirloom Aran sweater. Very happy with results.
I'm adding buttons to a cardigan that didn't call for them. This is wonderful!
Very informative and a great way to work buttonholes. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for the video

Excellent explaining how to do a button whole
Yes! Thank you. Next up on my sweater project is the button band.

정말 감사해요.. 너무 쉽게 잘 가르쳐 주시네요~
천만에요!
So easy to follow. Thank you!
Brilliant instructions
Thank you very much for sharing great visual and explanation I needed that help with button holes!!
hi, great video thank-you. is there any chance that you could demonstrate the best button hole on a twisted rib buttonhole edge please.
Thank you so much I'm making a waist coat and I want detachable sleeves with the buttons on the dropped shoulder of the waistcoat and the button holes on the tops of the sleeves
Thank you SO much for teaching me somethong new, yet again! ;-) Love the idea of the friday video's too!
I'm having a lot of fun coming up with ideas for Friday videos, so it's good to know other people like the idea of them! :-)
Very easy instructions to follow, thank you. Do you have the pattern for the blue scarf?
No, sorry.
Great explanation, I managed to knit some pretty neat buttonholes. However on a single rib band I found I couldn’t keep the pattern. Sometimes I ended up with two knit or pearl stitches together. What am I doing wrong. I’m all swatched out 🤷♀️
There are written instructions in the video description. You are supposed to CO 1 st more than you BO, and then that extra st is eliminated.
Thank you very, very much 😊
Thanks so much. I found your explanation and video very easy to understand while other peoples were not.
Great tutorial. Thank you Roxanne. I would also love the pattern for your pretty blue scarf. Maybe you could teach us the blocks of stitches as a Friday tutorial. (:

Thank you so much, that book is my new bible. I can't wait to try my hand at knitting a similar scarf. @@RoxanneRichardson
So very helpful!! Thnx
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial. I love the blue scarf you’re wearing in this video. Is there a pattern for it?
I never released a pattern for that. I keep meaning to, but then I wander off...
I would love this pattern too. I've been looking for a scarf and hat pattern for my daughter. Maybe a Knit-a-long video?
Thanks so much for the video! I was wondering what the needle are that you are using? The black ones with silver tips?
Those are actually green - they are Signature Needles Arts US 6 32'' fixed length circular needles. (Each needle size is a different color). I don't think they make the fixed length circs anymore, just the tips with interchangeable cables.
Thank you, mine turned out great!!!
How smart! I finished buttonholes two days ago. I will use your one-row buttonholes in my next cardigan. Thank you!
Great! Let me know how they turn out! :-)
thank you very interesting.

Could you please tell me where I could find the pattern for the blue lace scarf that you were wearing in this video? Thanks.
I designed that a few years back, to teach a lace class. I haven't released it as a pattern. I guess I should, eh?
You should definitely release it as a pattern. It is stunning and looks like it would be a fun pattern to Knit.
Still anxiously awaiting the release of the pattern for that blue lace scarf. It is enchanting!
I keep getting a gap just to the right of the buttonhole. I'm knitting in the round, so when I come back around to the buttonhole, there is a significant hole before the first new cast on stitch. Any ideas?
I have the same problem!!
Nice thanks nice
Do you plan to show other buttonhole techniques?
I could. Are there any in particular you're interested in?
Roxanne Richardson I didn’t have any specific ones in mind, but I think maybe making a buttonhole swatch sampler might be a interesting idea.
🌸🏵🌼🌻💯
Why cast on 1 more stitch than was cast off?
The extra stitch is eliminated when you pass a stitch over to complete the button hole. It creates a neater closure/corner. Essentially you BO X sts, CO X+1, BO 1.
Thank u for explaining so well
Maybe it's my computer, but your dark yarn is very hard to see on my screen. I can't see each stitch that you work. A light colored yarn would be much better for this demonstration. Thank you.
