One Row Buttonholes // Technique Tuesday

This video demonstrates how to knit a one-row buttonhole or horizontal slit.

The technique is demonstrated three times, describing the process in detail during the first two button holes, and then working it straight through the third time. Tips on how and where to locate the buttonhole in different stitch patterns are given, with examples shown on swatches, as well as how the technique was used in two completed projects. Written instructions for the technique can be found below the links to each section of the video.
