Sew a botton at the middle of the right short side, corresponding to buttonhole
Variation: instead of the button, you can use a hook-and-eye closure, or a automatic closure. In these cases, do not crochet the buttonhole.
N.B.
- Substitute ever (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:
- first sc with 1 ch, sc;
- first hdc with 2 ch;
- first dc with 3 ch;
- first tr with 4 ch...and so on;
- When you read «sl st to <location>», where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course «an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>».
- Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
