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!
Thanks for this! I’m making seat belt covers for my daughters, and have been puzzling for about an hour on how to make this dang buttonhole. AWESOME! Thanks!
I am from europe and I am puzzled b/c the way you knit here is just too different, very slow and much more difficult. Inefficient. Even the buttonhole. My God, there is easier way to do it!
Thanks so much. Your videos are always so clear and easy to understand. Great job!
Thanks so much!

Thank you for your tutorial. It has been of great help. Greetings from Ecuador.
GREAT VIDEO ! does anyone know how to or if it’s possible to but a button hole in an already knitted sweater ?
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!
