I had so much fun creating button ornaments for Jon, I've decided to challenge myself to designing and writing up patterns in the month of December. Do you want to join in the fun? I've decided to start with this base:
Button Ornament Base #1
Materials:
5/8" four hole button
size 20 thread
Shuttle and ball
Symbols:
+ join
- joining picot
Round 1:
Ring 4 + 4 - 8, reverse work (join to button)
Chain 9, lock join to picot on ring, reverse work
Repeat around button with two joins in each hole
On final ring, join to base of first ring instead of making a picot
Hanger: 100 half stitches (Note: the hanger is optional.)
Lock join to base. Tie, cut, and hide ends.
