Buttonband finished
I just finished the buttonhole band / button band / neckband on the braids cardigan. (It's all done in one long piece) Being on Ravelry is encouraging me to document my knitting way better than I used to.
I still have to do the sleeves, weave in ends, and sew on the buttons. But man, I'm really beginning to believe that this is going to become a finished sweater that I can wear!
For the buttonhole row, I used the one-row buttonhole method I documented in an earlier post. I laid it out and decided to use 9 buttons. The front up to the corner (where it becomes the neck) was 90 stitches. So that part was:
K3, (4-stitch one row buttonhole, K6) 8 times, (4-stitch one row buttonhole) once, K3. The last knit stitch was actually an increase stitch at the corner, following the pattern, so it was a kfb - that's how I prefer to do my M1s.
Now to go pick up for the sleeves.
