You can check out the finished cardigan I posted a picture a few days ago. The button band is easy, its just picking up stitches along the edge and knitting creating holes with a YO K2TOG, or whatever the pattern directs. Some patterns won’t have a button band but creates buttonholes at the beginning or end of a row. I prefer a button band. You could even jazz up a button band, there are probably a lot of patterns out there just for bands. Thanks for stopping by!! Happy Knitting!!
Lovely!!
Are you making a sweater, or a cardigan? I’ve never made a cardigan but plan to very soon, am wondering how hard those button bands can be…

Thanks! That doesn’t sound so daunting after all 🙂 I have a large enough quantity of yarn for a cardy, I might as well start looking for a pattern…
