ABBREVIATIONS

dec - decrease = a scadea

k1 - knit 1 st= 1 ochi pe fata. 

k2tog - knit 2 sts together=  scazatura spre stanga ( 2 ochiuri lucrate impreuna spre stanga)= introducem acul de la dreapta la stg prin 2 ochiuri, prin spatele ochiurilor , luam firul si-l scoatem prin cele 2 oc, rezultand unul singur.

ssk -  slip 2 stitches as if to knit, then knit those 2 stitches together = scazatura spre stanga . Pentru americani care au ochiurile orientate diferit – trebuie sa ia ochiurile pe andreaua dreapta ca si cum le-ar lucra, apoi sa le mute inapoi asa intoarse pe andreaua stanga, si sa le lucreze impreuna. Rezulta o scazatura orientata spre stanga. Pentru noi - lucram simplu doua ochiuri impreuna, fara sa le intoarcem. Rezulta aceeasi scazatura spre stanga.

patt - pattern (model) 

p1 - purl 1 st= 1 ochi pe dos 

R/ rnd - round= rand

Button Holes

Two-Step Crochet Button Loop

The two-step button loop is my favorite.  It is perfect for when a sturdy loop is needed and also adds a nice designer detail. 

First, plan out and mark the placement of the buttons and the corresponding loops as described above. 

Next, crochet to the placement marker and chain the number of stitches needed to create a loop that is big enough for your button to pass through but small enough to keep the button in place .  Turn, skip two stitches, then work one slip stitch in the next stitch .

Chain one and turn so the right side is facing you again.  Work as many single crochet stitches as needed to cover the loop .  To continue, single crochet in the next stitch and continue across the row or to the next stitch marker.  

Test the buttonhole for sizing.
