You will also need 2 - 1” buttons.

Depending on your yarn color and button choice this can be for a man, woman or child.

This is a slip stitch pattern and there are no purl stitches in this pattern only knit stitches and slip stitches. The buttons are slipped between the center slipped stitches so there is no separate button hole to knit in.

The pattern is posted on my blog.
