Crochet a Button

I have been using up my stash by making baby sweaters, blankets, etc.

For the sweaters I don’t use plastic buttons, I crochet the button. This soft button is easy to make.

I was recently asked to demonstrate the process so I created this short video to show you how to crochet your own buttons.

You need to know how to chain and single crochet.

My sample is done with a 7mm hook to make the stitches easier to see. You can use any size hook and modify the number of stitches accordingly by simply using the basic technique.
