Instructions:

Ch 4, join in the furthest chain from the hook to create a ring.

Round 1: Ch 2, then work 16 hdc into the center of the ring.  (You may need to slide stitches over to fit everything into the ring.  All of those stitches will make a firm, sturdy button!)

Fasten off and weave any ends that remain.  Sew to any item needing a button! Make sure you stitch it only in the middle and not around the edges so that it can be all buttoned up! Try using a piece of contrasting yarn to sew it on for a fun decorative effect too!

  1. This is just what I was looking for, thank you! But I am wondering how to sew it to my project since there's just the one hole in the middle?
