Knitting a buttonhole in stockinette stitch. How to make buttonholes for knitting. A selection of photos of MK knitting slots

When knitting buttonholes, you first need to decide how to make the cut - vertical, horizontal or round. Round holes are usually knitted for small buttons. The length of the hole is determined by the diameter of the button. Since the knitted loops are stretched, when knitting, the holes are made half as large as the diameter of the button.

If the knitted model is single-breasted, then the holes are arranged in a row along the line of the middle of the front. If the model is double-breasted - in two rows on both sides of the middle of the front.

The holes for the buttons are knitted so that the buttoned button does not go beyond the edge of the placket, so the middle of the horizontal cut should not coincide with the middle of the front, but move slightly in the direction opposite to the edge of the placket. Vertical cuts are usually located on the line of the middle of the front.

Read how to knit armholes and sleeves in the topics "Lesson 10. Learning to knit armholes, shoulders, back necks" and "Lesson 11. Learning to knit a set-in sleeve".

Horizontal buttonholes

First way. For single-breasted knitted model. Cast on 20 sts: 10 sts for plank and 10 sts for front. 2-3 cm are knitted. The strap is knitted with garter knitting, the shelf is knitted with hosiery. On the bar, the line of the middle of the front is outlined. Then, four loops wide, a horizontal hole is made, offset from the middle by one loop to the left.

This is done as follows: after the edge loop at the very beginning, 4 front loops are knitted and the next 4 loops are fixed, the bar ends with 1 front loop and a shelf is knitted. Then the work is turned over, the wrong side is knitted to the hole and 4 air loops are made. The row is knitted and the loop is ready.

With subsequent knitting, the air loops are knitted to the back wall.

The second way. Knitting holes for buttons in one row, which allows you to get narrower buttonholes.The edging is removed and knitted 3 front. 4 loops are fixed, stretching one into the other. The working thread remains at the beginning of the cut.

To fix the thread without a working one, do the following. The first 2 loops are removed on the right knitting needle, with the help of the left knitting needle the first loop is put on the second, while the second remains on the right knitting needle. The third loop is removed on the right knitting needle and the second loop is put on the third, then the fourth loop is removed and put on the third, the fifth loop is removed and the fourth is put on it. The last stitch remaining on the right needle is transferred to the left. Thus, a hole in 4 loops is obtained.

Then 4 air loops are typed on the right knitting needle and 2 front loops for the bar and 2 loops for the shelf are knitted. On the next row, air loops are knitted to the back wall.

Vertical hinges

For vertical loops, the holes are located on the line of the middle of the front.

First way. A strap is knitted on the front side, and the loops are removed on a pin. Then the rest are knitted to a height greater by 2 rows than the hole.

From the side of the hole, edging is knitted. After the end of knitting, the thread remains on the side of the loop.

The loops from the pin are removed on an additional knitting needle. We take an additional ball and knit rows in height 2 rows less than from the side of the cut.

Then the thread breaks and both halves are connected and knitted together with a working thread. It turns out a hole in 4 loops.

The protruding ends after knitting must be carefully hidden with a hook.

The second way. On the front side, loops of the right half of the strap are knitted and removed on a spare knitting needle (5 loops). Then the number of rows is knitted, 1 row more than the height of the hole. The edge of the hole is serrated.

Then, with a working thread, the end of the right knitting needle is wrapped counterclockwise.

With the same knitting needle, loops are knitted from the spare knitting needle. Thus, both parts of the bar are on the same knitting needle, but they are separated only by turns.

The loops of the right half of the strap are knitted like this. The row is knitted to the cut and the last loop is knitted together with one turn of the knit over the back.

The product is turned over and 1 loop is removed, the row ends. And so on until the loops run out.

Loop-hole

The loop hole is knitted like this. In the place where the loop should be located, a yarn is made. In the next row, the yarn is dropped without knitting. It turns out a hole for a button.

Useful tips for knitting loops

1) The middle of the fastener strap should match the middle of the front. When knitting according to patterns, use the symbols in knitting.

2) The strap width for a single-breasted model should be between 1.5 and 6 cm, for a double-breasted model - from 6 cm.

3) The width of the fastener strap must be determined after choosing the buttons.

4) When distributing buttons, the first one is placed on the waist line (or higher for models with a belt), the rest - focusing on the first one.

5) For large buttons, the buttonholes need to be overcast. You can use the same yarn for edging. In the case of overcasting, the holes are made a little larger.

6) In products made of thick yarn, the buttons are taken on the leg and not sewn close to avoid being pressed into the bar.

7) If the buttons are not suitable for a knitted product, then you can make them yourself. To do this, the finished buttons are covered with a knitted hosiery fabric, knitted for this.

If you are going to knit clothes that require a fastener, then you will surely encounter a "button" problem. Before proceeding to the study of this issue, it must be said that the loops can be multidirectional, namely horizontal and vertical. And then there are the so-called "holes". Their length depends, of course, on the diameter of the buttons used, but when knitting there is a risk of rapid stretching. Based on this information, it is recommended to make the loop half as large. And further. To prevent the button from falling over the edge of the strap, it is advisable to tie the middle of the hole in a horizontal position so that it is a little closer to the shelf. That is, slightly shift it in this direction.

The article will include the following cuts:

Row - R.
Loop - P.
Wrong - I.
Front - L.
Back wall - 3S.
Kromochnaya - KR.
Nakid - N.

Such loops can be connected in two ways. First, let's practice on a sample: dial 15 P, perform 4 R: 10 P knitting a garter type (imitation of a strap) and 5 P - stocking (imitation of a shelf).

To make buttonholes directed horizontally, knit after KR-3 LP, close 4 P, 7 LP. In the next IR: 5 PI, 2 LP, dial 4 P and finish R. Thus, the work is done in two R. In the next. LR loops that were cast on should be knitted LP behind GL:

The holes for the buttons knitted in the 2nd way are much narrower than the previous ones and knit in 1 R. After the KR we knit 3 LP, close 4 P without the participation of the working thread: remove 2 P on the right tool and put 1 P on the left tool on the 2nd, repeat this for another 3 times and we return the loop to the knitting needle located on the right, and with the working thread we knit 4 new P. R we knit the LP. Following. IR new P knit LP for GL.

vertical slot

Now consider the vertical arrangement. Here, too, two methods can be distinguished. For training, we create the same sample as before.

We start from the front side: KR, 4 LP, we hang everything on a pin, we knit the remaining 10 P until we reach the required hole length (for example, 7 R). After that, the thread should be located where the loop cut will be. The next step is to take an extra ball and work with the 2nd half of the bar, starting from the side where the cut is. After completing 7 R, we cut the thread, leaving 4 cm on the side of the cut. Now we connect the work, hiding the edges on the inside with a hook:

We knit everything the same way until the introduction of an additional ball (7 P to the height of the loop), we perform the 8th IR until the cut and the tip of the knitting needle, which is on the right, is wrapped with a thread in a counterclockwise direction 7 times. The number of these turns is equal to the number of P in the length of the loop. With the same tool we knit the second half of the LP bar. Thus, all P will be on one instrument. Then we work only with the right half: having reached the LP to the slot, we knit together the last P and 1 turn of the LP behind the AP, turn to the inside, remove 1 P as a CR and work the LP. Following. P again connect the last P with a coil and so on until the end. After we knit the bar over the loop:

holes

Another variant of buttonholes made with knitting needles has not been considered - these are “holes”. They also have several ways to do it.

In the place where the loop is planned, we make H, which is next. R is simply dropped off the spoke. It turns out a hole for a small button.

If our hole should be larger, then we make H from the inside, and we combine the following 2P after it behind the ZS. Following. P - N we knit LP.

Another option is the 1st horizontal loop method, only you need to close only 1 P instead of 4x.

We looked at several options for buttonholes made with knitting needles. And now it remains only to choose which one is right for you.

Hello dear friends!

The holidays at the Knitting School have dragged on for some time - it's time to go to school. 😉

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

Usually the length of the buttonhole incision depends on the diameter of the button, but since buttonholes related knitting needles, stretch very quickly, it is recommended to make them HALF LESS 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 line of the middle of the front in one row. If double-breasted (bar width from 6 cm or more), then in two rows at the same distance from the middle of the front. But for any width of the strap for the fastener, 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 bar, the middle of the horizontal loop should not coincide with the middle of the front, but should shift slightly towards the shelf. If the buttonholes are vertical or in the form of holes (holes), then they are placed on the line of the middle of the front (in single-breasted models).

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

Horizontal hinges

Horizontal buttonholes can be knitted two ways.

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

Method 1

To perform a horizontal loop in the front row, the beginning of which is 10 loops of garter stitch, knit after the edge 3 front loops, then close 4 loops in a row () , then we will knit 2 front loops of the strap and 5 front loops - shelves.

Horizontal buttonhole (1st row)

In the next (purl) row, we knit 5 loops of the shelf with purl, then - 2 facial loops of the strap, and over the four closed loops we dial 4 and knit the row.

In this case, the horizontal buttonhole 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 suffering?), we get such a horizontal buttonhole (I think big).

Horizontal large buttonhole (4th row)

Method 2

In this case, the horizontal buttonhole performed in one row and it 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 we knit 3 front loops, then close 4 loops in a row, NOT USING a working thread.

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

We return this loop to the left knitting needle, and on the right - we collect 4 air loops with a working thread, and knit a row with facial loops.

In the next (purl) row, we knit the front loops behind the back walls.

Horizontal loop number 2 is ready!

In one of the following posts (and why pull something!) We will continue the conversation about how they fit buttonholes with knitting needles , only now vertical and loop-holes.

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

Mark first, knit later

Before you start knitting the buttonhole, decide exactly how many stitches you need for each hole and how far apart they should be. To avoid confusion while knitting, put markers on the needles or attach to the knitted fabric before knitting the holes.

Horizontal buttonholes are especially good for garter stitch, where they can be hidden between two ribs. A tight buttonhole is slightly more difficult than a loose buttonhole, as the yarn is woven between two loops to keep the buttonhole from stretching. Choose one of the two buttonholes that best suits your button.

Tight buttonhole

This instruction is for a hole with three loops, but you can use as many loops as you need. It is best to make a hole on an odd number of loops. The words "thread before work" and "thread behind work" mean that you must pull the thread between the two ends of the needles either forward or backward. Nakida are not done here; they do not add loops. The words "cast off 1 st" mean that you must draw the second st on the right needle through the first. To close the loops, do not knit extra loops.

Knit to the point where you want to make a hole.

1. Thread before work, slip 1 loop, thread at work, slip 1 loop, bind off 1 loop, thread before work, slip 1 loop, thread at work, cast off 1 loop, slip 1 loop, bind off 1 loop. Slip the last stitch off the left needle.

2. Cast on 4 air loops. Remove the last cast on stitch from the right needle.

3. Close 1 loop. Thread (before work, slip 1 loop, thread at work, slip 1 loop, thread before work, slip 1 loop, thread at work.

Button hole completed. Continue knitting buttonholes along the entire row.

Loose buttonhole

This hole can be knitted on any number of loops.

Knit to the point where you want to make a hole.

1. Close the desired number of loops. Continue knitting until the end row.

2. When on the next row you reach the gap formed by closed loops, cast on the same number of loops with air loops. Continue knitting to the end of the row.

You can make an even neater hole for the button. If a long broach remains after the last closed or cast on loop, in the second and third row, pick up the broach, twist it and put it on the left knitting needle. Knit the broach together with the next loop, thereby tightening it, On the third row, knit the dialed loops with the front ones so that they twist

1 row. Knit elastic on wrong side. Wherever you want make a hole, knit two from each loop.

2 row. On the front side, knit according to the pattern until 1 loop remains before the loop with the addition. Remove 2 loops, as in knitting, separately, transfer both loops to the left knitting needle and knit both loops with the front one. Yarn over double, knit 2 stitches together.

3 row. Knit in pattern from wrong side. When there is 1 stitch left to double yarn over, knit 2 stitches together purl, yarn over. Remove 2 loops, as in knitting, separately, transfer both loops to the left knitting needle and knit both loops from the wrong side.

4 row. Knit in pattern from right side, purl each button hole, grabbing both strands of yarn.

1 row. Knit on right side until up to 2 purl loops, where the hole for the loop will be located, remains 1 face loop. Remove 2 loops, as in knitting, separately, transfer both loops to the left knitting needle and knit both loops with the front one, make a double crochet, knit 2 loops together with the front one.

2 row. Work in patt on wrong side until 1 st remains in front of double yarn over. Knit 2 stitches together with purl, double yarn over, remove 2 stitches, as in knitting, separately, transfer both stitches to the left knitting needle and knit both stitches on the wrong side.

3 row. Knit the front side of the pattern. In each of the double crochets, knit 1, purl 1, picking up both threads.

To make the hole small, skip the 2nd row, and knit the 3rd row on the wrong side.

If after knitting the buttonhole is too loose, take a suitable color of yarn and sew one or both ends (fig. 7) to make the hole shorter, weaving the thread along the hole so that it does not stretch. You can also sew a buttonhole over the hole using yarn or sewing thread.
