This button pattern is from the Lady's world Fancy Work Book, no. 26, October 1912. This is a very simple pattern. I almost feel a little guilty for picking something that turned out so simple. I used a size 7 steel hook and some scrap fingering weight wool to make this. The button they suggest is only 1/2 inch in diameter so it was a little fiddly to get on. I've included the directions below (remember this is UK terms so their double crochet is our single crochet) if you want to make one. Scoring:
Is the pattern easy to understand? Yes. 1.0 Does it look like the illustration? It's hard to see and I didn't get as many rounds as they did but it does look like the photo. 1.0 Would someone wear this? Yes. It would work for a button and could be a fun way to dress up a sweater. Did I enjoy making this? Yes. 1.0 Total 4.0 We're starting the year with a perfect score!
