In this DROPS video we show how to knit a vertical button hole.
These type of buttonholes are in a double-knit stockinette band. Because it's double knit, the band may be too thick if it's heavier than fingering, but we are using a DK weight to show the technique better. The body of the sweater can be any yarn, just match the yarn for the band.
The hole is built around a small length of yarn the same as the band.
Put as many sts on the doubled extra yarn to match width of the button, start and stop with a P st.
Then cast on the same number of sts as replacement around the other side of the extra yarn. After you worked a few more rows, take the 2 open ends on the extra yarn and pull trough loop, and then tighten up the hole, don't over tighten, then ends are weaved in later.
