MITTEN 2

Button loop

To work a sewn button loop, thread a long length of Colombia onto a yarn needle. Insert it in and under a few stitches in the center of the flip top.

Wrap the yarn around your little finger to create a small semi-circular loop, Repeat this two more times so the loop is reinforced. Then, with the needle coming from the left side of the loop, bring it through the middle from back to front, over the top and under the thread.

Pull this loop tight and repeat all around. Sew a small button to the centerback of the ribbing where it meets the hand.
