One Row Buttonhole
Sep. 16th, 2007 05:14 pmI got this from knitting.about.com, but now it's not there any more, so I'm going to put it here so I can find it later.
ONE ROW BUTTONHOLE:
Work the required number of stitches before starting the buttonhold.
As if to knit, slip one stitch. Between the tips of the needles, bring the yarn to the front of the work and drop it. As if to knit, slip the next stitch from the left-hand needle to the right-hand needle and pass the first slipped stitch over the second slipped stitch and off the needle. Not using the dropped yarn, bind off the required number of stitches in this manner.
Slip the last stitch on the right hand needle back to the left hand needle. Turn the work around. Bring yarn to the front. At the edge where the buttonhole was started, using the twisted method of casting on purlwise, cast on one more stitch than the number that you bound off.
Turn the work around. Slip the first stitch from the left hand needle to the right needle as if to knit. Slip the extra cast on stitch over the next stitch and then slip this stitch back onto the left-hand needle.
TWISTED PURL CAST ON:
The twisted purl cast on method provides a firm edge. It is decorative on both sides of the work.
To begin, make a slip knot and place on left needle.
Insert the right needle into the back of the stitch (furthest from you) as if to purl.
Wrap the yarn around the right needle as if to purl and pull loop through. This twists the stitch.
Place the new stitch on the left needle.
Continue to purl through the back of the stitch on the left needle and place the new stitch on the left needle.
