FINISHING

with Conﬁdence – BUTTONHOLES PART 3

By Arenda Holladay

This article will discuss variations on the yarn over (eyelet) buttonholes which create larger buttonholes. Most of the variations require double yarn overs and are worked over several rows. Several variations, representative of yarn over buttonholes, are discussed below. ribbing but pre-planning is required since the buttonhole should be placed above two purl stitches. An ssk decrease should be worked before the yarn overs and a k2tog decrease should be worked after the yarn overs. This ensures that the knit columns continue and the purl stitches are hidden. Illustration 2 shows this variation of the buttonhole. this version of the buttonhole. To work this buttonhole: • Work the knit stitch before the stitch where the buttonhole will be placed. (For K1P1 ribbing this should be a purl stitch.)
• Double YO, k2tog, complete the row. • Next Row: Work in pattern to the yo, purl* the ﬁrst yo and drop the second, complete row.
• Next Row: Work in pattern to the buttonhole, knit* into the buttonhole, drop the knit stitch, complete row.
