I’ve always enjoyed finding cute buttons for my knitted items because sometimes the smallest details absolutely make the project. Today I’m going to share the stitched buttons I’ve been adding to my knitwear lately. Toadstools were so trendy when I was a teen and now they’re back, so I sprouted a couple for my Mary Jane Slippers:
A little birdy flew in and perched on my Ribbed Waffle Hat :
And a juicy little pomegranate bloomed on my star stitch headband.
These are each stitched on natural linen, then turned into 1 and 1/8 inch buttons with a Dritz Cover Button Kit
Easy! If you’d like the patterns for these and several additional mini motifs, (an owl, a key and a ball of yarn), you can find them here:
