In knitted products, mainly slit or air loops are used. It depends on the type of product, the thickness of the threads and the size of the buttons. Air loops are usually made on thin openwork blouses and dresses, some types of children's clothing and clothes for dolls. For large buttons, welt buttonholes are preferable.
It is necessary
- - unfinished product;
- - buttons;
- - knitting needles or hook of the right size.
Instructions
Step 1
Tie the product on the needles almost to the hole. Determine a place for it. You don't have to mark the desired point in any way, just remember where it is and count the loops from the beginning of the row or to the end. Decide which buttonhole you want to make, vertical or horizontal. The first option is more common. Vertical buttonholes are only used if the buttons are very large.
Step 2
Knit the next row to the beginning of the horizontal hole. Close several loops, counting their number according to the size of the button. If the yarn and knitting needles are thick, bind 1-2 less stitches. This is necessary so that the product does not open. However, the loop should not be too tight, the knit can break very quickly.
Step 3
In the next row, over the closed loops, type the same number of new ones. Then knit in the usual way until the second hole. If the buttons are large, the edges of the loops can be crocheted with the same threads. Use the same hook size or one smaller.
Step 4
The vertical hole is usually located in the midline of the fastener. Tie up to this place and divide the work into 2 parts. Finish the part of the row that you just knitted, and attach a new ball to the next loop and knit further, removing the hem from the side of the hole.
Step 5
Tie the next row to the loop, knit the rest of it from the first ball, again removing the hem from the side of the hole. Having knitted in this way to the desired height, again knit and knit until the beginning of the next hole.
Step 6
Small holes are needed to fasten a thin openwork blouse with small buttons. Tie a row to the desired place, make a yarn over and then knit 2 loops together. In this case, you must ensure that the loops of the fastener are located strictly one above the other.
Step 7
When crocheting, tie the row to the beginning of the hole. Then tie a chain of air loops along the width of the button. Skip as many stitches as there are loops in the chain and secure it with a half-stitch. In the next row, knit the stitches into a ring. There should be as many as you missed.
Step 8
For an air loop, make a chain, then skip 1-2 stitches and knit further. Make chains in the right places. In the next row, in the resulting arcs, knit as many simple columns or half-columns so that they completely cover the chain.
