The knitting is done, ends are all buried, but there is still an important task to do before finishing a cardigan. Picking out the right buttons, and sewing them on.
I searched through my button stash (yes, of course I have one!) and found the perfect button. It fits well into my simple “k2tog, yo” buttonhole, and doesn’t compete with the fabric for attention.
I kept the buttons very simple, to not compete with the fabric. I think they are perfect!
Placing the buttons correctly the first time makes the process go quickly. I place locking markers where the buttons go, which helps me keep track of their placement.
right side and wrong side of the sweater. Smooth, even fabric is the goal!
The fabric looks great on the right and wrong sides, and I love the Sassafras yarn. It is a cozy, casual cardigan that goes with almost anything.
Next up, modeling the finished sweater!
Adding buttons, count stitches to next buttonhole, and place a locking marker where button will be, for a guide
