And I think it looks more professional because I used the same method that I discovered while making Ebony, as I have already mentioned. I don't have Helga Isager's book with me now (it is in Florida and I am in Pennsylvania). As far as I remember, you slip the second stitch as for a purl on the front row and purl it on the back row. For the opposite part of the buttonband you do the same for the stitch before last (better double check in the book, my memory is not as it used to be). This way the buttonband's edge is less stretchy and "wobbly".Anna Simonovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14149088442617876835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939364230819026765.post-14052600554214623302017-10-08T04:19:21.804-07:002017-10-08T04:19:21.804-07:00Now, that was a read of substance.

Is the buttonband of 9 stitches narrower than what the pattern called for and is this why you say it looks more professional?jsdknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757888184896760436noreply@blogger.com
