Hello, dear friends!

The holidays at the Knitting School have been somewhat delayed - it’s time to go back to school. 😉

On the agenda - button loops related knitting needles. Button loops there are horizontal, vertical and hole loops(for small buttons). And today we will look in detail at how to perform horizontal knitting buttonholes .

Usually the length of the loop cut depends on the diameter of the button, but since button loops related knitting needles, stretch very quickly, it is recommended to make them HALF SMALLER than the diameter of the buttons.

If the product (jacket, cardigan, jacket, coat) is planned to be knitted single breasted (bar width is usually from 1.5 to 6 cm), buttons are placed on the middle front line in one row. If double-breasted (placket width from 6 cm or more), then in two rows at the same distance from the middle of the front. But no matter the width of the fastener bar, its middle should always coincide with the middle of the front.

And so that the buttoned button does not go beyond the edge of the placket, the middle of the horizontal loop should not coincide with the middle of the front, but should shift slightly towards the front. If the buttonholes are vertical or in the form of holes (holes), then they are placed on the line of the middle front (in single-breasted models).

Well, this is all a prelude, now let's proceed directly to the execution process itself knitting buttonholes .

Horizontal loops

Horizontal buttonholes can be knitted two ways.

To understand how they are performed, you can knit a sample of a fragment of the right front by casting on 15 loops and knitting 3-4 rows: 10 loops - garter stitch (this will be our bar) and 5 loops - stocking (and this is a shelf).

Method 1

To make a horizontal loop in the front row, which starts with 10 garter stitch loops, knit 3 knit stitches after the edge, then cast off 4 loops in a row () , then knit 2 knit stitches for the placket and 5 knit stitches for the front stitch.

Horizontal buttonhole (1st row)

In the next (purl) row we knit 5 front loops purl, then 2 knit stitches of the bar, and above the four closed loops we cast on 4 and finish the row.

In this case, horizontal button loop performed in two rows - front and back.

Horizontal buttonhole (2nd row)

In the next (front) row we knit the air loops with the front ones behind the back walls.

Horizontal buttonhole (3rd row)

As a result of our efforts (or torment?) we get this horizontal buttonhole (I think large).

Horizontal loop for a large button (4th row)

Method 2

In this case, horizontal button loop performed in one row and turns out narrower than knitted in the previous way.

To perform a horizontal loop in the second way, in the front row after the edge loop, we knit 3 front loops, then close 4 loops in a row, WITHOUT USING a working thread.

To do this, remove 2 loops on the right knitting needle and, using the left knitting needle, put the 1st loop on the 2nd, then do the same 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th and 4th to 5th.

We return this loop to the left knitting needle, and on the right one we cast on 4 air loops with the working thread, and finish the row with knit stitches.

In the next (purl) row we knit the chain stitches with knit stitches behind the back walls.

Horizontal loop No. 2 is ready!

In one of the next posts (why wait!) we will continue the conversation about how to knit knitting buttonholes , only now vertical and loop-holes.

If you don’t want to miss this and other useful information for yourself, subscribe to receive new articles on my blog (this will not threaten you, honestly!).

And in conclusion, I suggest you listen to the song “Musician” performed by Konstantin Nikolsky. The song is a little sad, but not soulless...

Buttonholes or buttonholes are a necessary element of such knitted products as sweaters, jackets, coats, cardigans, etc.
Once you've mastered socks, hats, and sweaters, before you try your hand at knitting items that need to be fastened with buttons, any knitter will probably be interested in learning how to best make buttonholes so that they look neat and are positioned Right.

First, you should take into account the simple rules for knitting such things.

When calculating the loops, you must remember that both shelves, right and left, should overlap each other a little.

This kind of overlap forms the button placket. Usually the pattern used to knit the button placket is different from the pattern used for the entire front.

In addition, it is advisable to initially decide which buttons will decorate your product. In particular, will they carry only a functional load, or can they serve as an additional decoration for your product. Of course, you can simply buy buttons. However, if you want the buttons to also be decorative, you should think about how to tie the button with thread. After all, knitted buttons will make your product even more unique.

Loops can be knitted both horizontally and vertically, and here we invite you to get acquainted with the ways to perform them. And it’s up to you to decide which of these methods to choose for yourself.

Making horizontal loops

To begin with, let us draw your attention to the fact that when performing horizontal loops, they should not be placed exactly in the middle of the front of the product. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the button will extend beyond the edge of the placket. To prevent this from happening, the horizontal loops are slightly shifted to the side opposite from the edge of the bar.
This rule does not apply to cases where it is necessary to make very small loops. For example, on a child's blouse.

It is precisely this case that we propose to consider first.

The so-called hole loop is performed using only 1 yarn over. In a certain place on the placket, which is knitted with a 1x1 elastic band, a yarn over is made, and the purl loop is knitted on the face along with the loop following it. Having turned the knitting, you need to knit the yarn over and then knit according to the elastic pattern until the edge of the placket is reached.

A buttonhole on two yarn overs is usually performed in cases where the bar is knitted with a 2x2 elastic band. To do this, 1 knit and 1 purl loop must be knitted together with a tilt to the left. Next, throw two loops onto the working needle. The second purl should be knitted together with the next stitch on the face.. In the next row of two yarn overs, 1 must be knitted with a knit yarn over, and the second with a crossed knit yarn over. Thus, the intersection of the elastic line with a loop looks neat and does not distort the pattern.

In other cases, the number of yarn overs that need to be made should be equal to the number of knitting loops closed to form a buttonhole. You can knit a horizontal buttonhole either in two rows or in one.
In order to make a horizontal buttonhole in two rows, you need to knit several loops from the edge in the front row, close the required number of loops as you knit and then continue working until the end of the row. The purl row is simply knitted according to the pattern. Having reached the future buttonhole, throw on the working needle a number of chain stitches equal to those that were closed in the front row. We can say that the loop is already ready. All that remains is to finish knitting the strap.

It is advisable to knit stitches cast on instead of closed ones on the face behind the back wall. This will make the edges of the loop tighter.
You can knit a buttonhole horizontally by knitting 1 row. To do this, the loops that will form the buttonhole must be closed without using a working thread. This can be done quite easily by stretching the loops one after the other. You can use a crochet hook. The outermost loop closed in this way must be transferred to the left knitting needle. Then throw an equal number of closed loops onto a working knitting needle and continue knitting.

Vertical buttonholes

Vertical buttonholes are ideal for products in which the placket is knitted simultaneously with the front. In this case, the buttonhole should be located exactly in the middle of the front of the product, and therefore in the middle of the bar.
You can also knit such a loop in two ways.

The first is to knit the stitches of half the placket from the front side and transfer them to an additional knitting needle or pin. Next, knit a number of rows. For example, 6 or 8. The working thread should remain on the side of the future buttonhole.

Next, an additional ball of thread is introduced into the work (you should take care of it in advance). With its help you need to knit the remaining part of the loops. In this case, you need to knit 2 rows less than the height to which the main part of the front is knitted and cut off the inserted thread, leaving a tail 3-4 cm long on the buttonhole side. Now you just need to connect both halves of the bar and continue knitting with the working thread to the place where the next loop will be.

The second method of making buttonholes vertically does not require the introduction of additional thread. However, you need to start knitting the buttonhole in the same way. That is, you need to leave half the loops of the strap on a pin or an additional knitting needle. As an example, we can consider making a vertical buttonhole 5 rows high.

So, leaving the calculated number of loops on the pin, you should knit 6 rows of the part of the shelf remaining on the working knitting needles (1 row more than the height we need). Leave the working thread on the side of the future buttonhole. Next, you need to wrap the thread around the working knitting needle counterclockwise. In this case, there should be as many turns—namely turns, not cast-on stitches—as there are rows for knitting the front. In our case there are 5 of them.

Next, it was time to tie the loops left on the pin. To do this, turning the knitting, we knit only these loops. In this case, each time knit the outermost loop from the buttonhole side together with one of the turns of the thread. This way the edges of the plank will align and close together. You can continue knitting the front to the place where the next button will be.

Perhaps your plans include knitting a double-breasted model. Horizontal buttonholes are more suitable for this. And what way you will do them: in two rows or in one - it’s up to you to choose.

Of course, you can spend some time shopping and choosing the right buttons for your product. However, if you spend a little more time, you will be able to make knitted buttons for your model yourself. At the same time, initially these can be buttons of even any color that are simply lying around in your “bins”. The main thing for them is the same diameter and method of attachment to the fabric.

Using a crochet hook or the same knitting needles, you can create buttons that not only perfectly match the color, but also fit perfectly into the style of your item. You can easily find tips on how to knit a button on our website.

Hello, my dears!

I don’t want to pull the cat by the tail, so I’m posting the remaining information on how to knit knitting buttonholes Today. So, knitting buttonholes : vertical and hole loops. How to do them?

As I already wrote in the previous post, vertical button loops , unlike horizontal ones, should always be located on the line of the middle front, unless, of course, it is a double-breasted product.

Vertical button loops are also performed in two ways. In the first case we use an additional ball, in the second we do not.

To practice knitting vertical loops, we will again need a fragment of the right shelf, as when training to perform horizontal loops. So…

Method 1

On the front side of our sample we knit 4 front loops of the strap, not counting the edge stitch. We remove all these loops (5) with a pin, or simply do not forget that we will not knit them for now.

Next, we knit only the remaining 5 loops of the strap and 5 loops of the shelf to the height of the loop cut (in our version this is 7 rows). The thread after the 8th row is located on the side of the loop cut (as in the photo).

We knit 5 loops of the strap and 5 loops of the shelf

Now we put an additional ball into work and knit the second half of the bar, starting from the side of the cut. We knit 7 rows in garter stitch and break the thread from the additional ball, leaving a tip 4-5 cm long, it should remain on the side of the loop cut (photo).

We knit 7 rows with thread from an additional ball

We connect both halves of the bar, continuing knitting with the main working thread. The result was a vertical loop 7 rows high. Hide the ends of the additional thread with a crochet hook from the wrong side of the product.

By connecting both halves of the plank, we get a vertical loop

Method 2

This method of tying a vertical loop may seem difficult to perform at first, but it is not, the main thing is to figure it out.

As in the first option, we knit part of the strap and the shelf to the height of the loop cut. We knit only the edges that form the cut, and not evenly, as we knitted in the first method.

Having knitted the 8th purl row to the loop cut, we wrap the thread around the end of the right knitting needle counterclockwise, making as many turns (but not chain loops!) as there are rows in the height of the loop cut (in our case - 7 turns).

Wrap the thread around the end of the right knitting needle

Then, using the same knitting needle with turns, we knit the second half of the bar with facial loops, as a result of which both parts of the bar, separated by turns, will end up on one knitting needle.

Now we will knit the loops of only the right half of the bar:

• Having reached the cut (with front loops) on the front side of the sample, we knit together the last loop and one turn of the front side behind the back wall;
• turning the knitting to the wrong side, remove the 1st loop as a regular edge loop and knit further with knit stitches;
• at the end of the next row we knit the loop and turn together again and so on.

Having knitted the number of rows required for the height of the loop cut, we continue knitting the bar above the loop.

Vertical loop, method 2

Loop holes

Loop holes for small buttons are made simply and also in several ways:

1. In the place where the loop should be, we make a yarn over, and in the next row we drop this yarn over from the knitting needle without knitting - we get a small hole (loop-hole) for a button.
2. If we want the hole to be a little larger, we make a yarn over from the wrong side of the product, and knit the two loops following the yarn over together with the front one behind the back walls. In the next front row we knit a yarn over - the loop-hole turns out to be slightly wider than the previous one.
3. Another hole-loop can be obtained using the first method of knitting a horizontal loop, casting off only 1 loop, and in the next row, casting 1 air loop above it.

And of course, I’m looking forward to your responses! 😉 Which of these knitting methods buttonholes do you usually use? It’s interesting, I think it will be interesting not only for me.

P.S. I almost forgot - "Lonely Saxophone" one of my favorite composers - Mikaela Tariverdieva- FOR YOU!

Usually knitting buttonholes knitted on a bar that runs in the middle of the front. The location of the loops is determined from the pattern, so that when knitting you know exactly how many centimeters to make the next loop. ().

First of all, note the location of the topmost loop and the bottom one. Then the distance between them is divided into equal intervals. The distance between the loops can be any, but you should know that large buttons are placed on the product no more often than 15 cm apart, small buttons may have a smaller gap. Remember also that in a knitted product, buttonholes with knitting needles stretch greatly, so they are always made slightly smaller than the diameter of the buttons.

Knitted buttonholes come in horizontal, vertical and small round shapes. The choice of type of loops also depends on the width of the placket (for example, horizontal loops can hardly be made on a narrow placket), the diameter of the buttons (for small buttons, round loops-holes are usually made), as well as the type of knitting (horizontal loops look better on garter stitch, and with an elastic band - vertical). Therefore, in order to be able to create knitted sweaters, you should learn how to knit all types of loops.

Such loops are best performed on a bar knitted with a 1 x 1 elastic band. In the right place before the purl loop, make , then knit the purl and the next front loops together with the front one. In the next purl row, knit this yarn over.

This type of loop is suitable for planks connected with a 2 x 2 elastic band.

On the fastener bar in the right place, knit 1 knit and 1 purl loops (this is the 1st loop of the next purl “track”) together (tilting to the left); then make 2 yarn overs. Knit the 2nd purl stitch and the next knit stitch together. In the next purl row, knit the 1st yarn over, and knit the 2nd yarn over with a knit yarn over.

Invisible buttonhole, knitted, HERE (click on the plus)

The sample is knitted on a bar of 10 loops, the loop itself is knitted from three loops between 4 loops from the edge and 3 loops from the shelf.

1. We knit 3 loops from the edge (keeping in mind that the loop itself is designed for 4 loops from the edge), i.e., 1 loop less than the planned beginning of the button loop itself.

2 — 5. Take a hook and knit a chain on the next 4 open loops. We do not touch the working thread, we only knit the loops themselves. Transfer the last stitch to the left needle.
6. Now we need to get rid of the depression (shown by the arrow).
7 — 9. Take the hook and pull the thread through the first link of the chain (we pierce the complete chain, i.e. both threads). Transfer the resulting loop to the right needle. Now we have returned the 4 outer loops, as originally planned (the beginning of the buttonhole is 4 loops from the edge).
10. We cast on 3 loops with chain loops (crossed yarn overs) according to the photo or at such an angle that it would be convenient to knit stitches in the next row (for garter stitch). We collect air loops tightly.
11 — 12. We knit to the end of the row and go back, we knit the cast-on loops according to the pattern, in this case - with knit stitches, like the rest of the loops of the shawl placket.
13 — 15. We knit the next row, and here we find the thread from the air loop from the previous row, which in the future can interfere and get tangled when fastening the button. Depending on the inclination of the air loops, this thread can form either in the left or in the right corner of the loop. We lift this thread onto the left knitting needle from the back and knit it together with the next loop of the bar.
16. The buttonhole is completed, continue to knit to the next loop.

Vertical knitted loops

This method of knitting loops is suitable for ones that are knitted together with shelves (whole knitted). Mark the middle of the bar, knit on loops to the mark and perform the required number of rows (equal to the length of the hole), do not cut the thread. On the remaining loops of the bar, make the same number of rows from another ball and cut this thread. Then continue knitting on all stitches as usual.

Buttonholes are not always easy, especially for a beginner. Some masters have already completed many models, but so far they have only used simplified buttonholes - yarn overs and nothing more. This article contains several ways to create loops with knitting needles, as well as beautiful strips on which such loops can be placed.

It's not that difficult to make stitches with knitting needles if you have a few helpful patterns on hand.

Horizontal

Horizontal loops- these are the loops that stretch horizontally. But there are several ways for them too. Let's look at the most popular and simple methods for obtaining this kind of holes.

In this method you will need to close the loops first. To do this, use the simplest method of closing the edge loops. This is knitting two loops together. With subsequent transfer. But in order to close the loops, you first need to measure the diameter of the button. Next, look at the fabric to estimate how many loops need to be closed and it is better to reduce a couple of loops so that the loop turns out to be a good size and not too small.

This knitting technique will immediately remind the craftsmen of mittens or gloves. But few craftsmen have thought about using this method to create loops. There will be a smooth, beautiful edge, and there will be no need to make an additional set, in which unskilled hands often get confused.

The technique is simple, you just need to knit a contrasting thread in a row to the required width according to the diagonal measurement of the button. Next are the next rows according to the fabric pattern and without changes. After completing the work, the contrasting thread is carefully pulled out, and the edge is stitched so that the loops do not unravel, since the edge will end up with loops. You can simply work it with a needle and thread. You can use a hook in this place.

Vertical

Again two ways. The simplest- this is to knit the right and left fabric along the length of the diameter. Combine them later.

The edge can also be crocheted or simply with a needle and thread. The contrasting treatment looks beautiful.

Next method again guarantees the presence of contrasting thread and ease of execution. Use a contrasting thread along the diameter of the button. Later, remove it and a beautiful hole is ready.

Loop holes

Hole loops or in other words yarn over loops. These are the very first options that a beginner will master in any case. They are very easy to do. You just need to make sure that the fabric remains the right size, since the presence of a yarn over implies the expansion of the fabric. In the next row, it is better to immediately make the appropriate decreases.

This is what this simple canvas looks like. But it can only be used on small buttons, and therefore cannot always be used.

How to beautifully knit a button placket with knitting needles?

Many models have a special bar - this is a continuation of the work on which the master makes the fasteners. Moreover, these may not necessarily be buttons. They use their own patterns for the strip, but it can also be a continuation of the main pattern of the knitted fabric.

Methods

Several ways to perform a plank with knitting needles. A little more detail about each of these methods.

Often used for planks plain satin stitch pattern(these are both purl and knit stitches) or garter stitch. Looks good in place of the plank and prostitute. Only the most common pattern for it will be an elastic band with knitting needles. This is most often elastic band 2*2. Simplified models look very beautiful. But there is also room for braids and different openwork. Awesome plank along with the diagram below.

This pigtail deserves the attention of a true master. There is nothing in the scheme that a master or a beginner would not know. These are simple loops, knitting together with bends and yarn overs. Works well for small buttons. Will complement nicely garter stitch or purl stitch.

How to make 1 buttonhole?

Often required make a small buttonhole along the edge of the product. The hook will handle this very quickly. But can knitting needles create something similar? In fact, this is no longer a problem for knitting needles either. Several loops will need to be closed. In the next row, make a small set, and then knit similar rows. This is how quickly and easily you can get a loop along the edge with knitting needles.

You should never stop at something incomprehensible. It's not all that complicated. Any loop can be made by a master or a beginner with convenient diagrams.
