As a rule, knitted things with button fasteners bring the problem of their selection. It is very difficult to find the perfect option, suitable specifically for this product. Therefore, it is better to go the easy way and create buttons with your own hands from the remnants of yarn. There are many different ways to make these buttons - crochet them very easily and quickly, and the thing will look amazing!

Materials and tools

There are a huge number of methods for forming this fitting. These include tight-fitting ready-made plastic buttons or suitable-sized bases (coins, rings), and knitting with double crochets, crochet, independent flat products, and making spherical buttons with stuffing.

All buttons are suitable for tying, but the best choice would be light, transparent plastic, with legs - they are invisible inside, they are easier to decorate and subsequently sew on.

The hook must be taken smaller than required by the thickness of the yarn- knitting should be as tight as possible, without gaps in the warp.

You will also need a large eye needle and beads for finishing.

Simple crochet buttons

You can knit them as you like - round, square, in the form of flowers, leaves, etc. Let's try to make a simple crochet button from threads, in the shape of a ball without a warp.

We make a loop of yarn, wrapping one turn around the end of the index finger in a clockwise direction (the end of the thread on the left side). We grab the thread and pull it into the resulting ring - this is the first loop. We knit another 9-10 columns without a crochet and tightly tighten the free tail (neatly, without tearing it off). Close the row with a "blind" column. One lifting loop for the second row, we knit single crochets into each loop of the previous row, we knit 2 such columns from each second loop. Further, in order to pull off our button, it is necessary to knit one from three loops of the second row. Connect with a "blind" column. Now we pull the free piece of yarn to the wrong side - it will be used as a stuffing. Using a needle, we sew the remaining space below and that's it, our button is ready!

If you need to create a bigger button, just add rows.

You can also crochet square buttons with small beads.

Firstly, we string the beads onto a thread and move them away - we need it for the last row. We knit a ring of four air loops. In the firstin a row we knit "2 columns without nak., 2 air loops". From "to" repeat 4 cycles. It turned out a square motif. Next - 1 air. loop and tie the perimeter of the post. without nak. We add rows depending on the size of our buttons. We crochet the last row, add beads after a certain distance and monitor their location on the front side. You can give additional rigidity by knitting another motif without beads and sewing it with the first one. With a needle and thread we make a "leg" - we sew 2 loops on the underside of the button with tight-fitting loops.

It is advisable to knit such buttons from cotton yarn - in this case, you do not need to make an additional warp.

Button of two colors of yarn

Now let's knit a more difficult button. For her, you can take a plastic ring that is suitable in size, but you can do without it, replacing it with repeated winding of threads on your finger.

So, we make 8-10 turns of yarn on the index finger. We tie the resulting ring with single crochets, placing them very tightly to each other, trying to form a very rigid ring. We knit the next row with yarn of a different color, close with a half-column.

Now take a needle and thread and make jumpers inside the ring, pulling even stitches. We wrap them, tightly pulling the working thread. The button is ready - because of the interesting decorative look, it can be used as an independent decoration. On the basis of this detail it is possible to make buttons - flowers or geometricfigurines.

Tied buttons

Original accessories can be a bright accent in any knitted item. We will now take a look at how to crochet a button.

Let's start this lesson with a small ring of air. loops, and preferably from a free ring - this will make it possible to tightly tighten the middle of the circle. We tie with single crochet or double crochet - crochet of the smallest size, leaving no space between the loops. The work goes in a circle, with the constant addition of loops in each subsequent row to obtain a flat workpiece. We put a button or some prepared base inside and knit, reducing the number of loops. We cut the thread and hide its end inside the case. We take a needle and use it to tighten the last row.

You can decorate such homemade buttons with anything - beads, sequins, rhinestones, embroidery - to your taste and imagination.
