Invisible buttonhole for large buttons
1. Knit first 4 sts (taking into account
that hole itself begins 5 sts from edge),
thus we work 1 st less than beginning
of buttonhole.
2. Using crochet hook BO next 4 live
sts not using working yarn, but only
stitches themselves. Slip last st to LH
needle.
3. Now get rid of gap (pointed with
arrow).
4. Insert crochet hook into first chain
of BO sts (insert it under full loop of
stitch) and pull yarn. Transfer this st to
RH needle. Now we have 5 edge sts
returned, as it has been planned in the
beginning.
5. CO 3 sts with right-leaning twisted
YO (shown in picture) or left-leaning
twisted YO if it is convenient to knit
these sts in next row not twisting them.
CO sts very tightly. Work to end of row,
get back and knit cast-on sts.
6. Work next row and find hanging yarn
loop from cast-on row that can tangle
and block when you button up (pointed
with arrow). This yarn can be in right or
left corner of buttonhole, depending on
YO’s leaning angle.
7. Pick up this yarn with LH needle
behind the next st and ssk. Buttonhole
is finished.
