How To Make Crochet Buttons

Ever need a button but cannot find any that match your sweater, jeans, or bags? Here's another fast and easy way to crochet on buttons.

The stitching styles you need to know to make your crochet button are the chain stitch, the slip stitch, the double crochet stitch, and possibly the single crochet stitch if you plan to embellish and further adorn your button.

Crochet Bone Ring Button Pattern

This button is crocheted around a bone ring, and has an open center. Use it in curtain ties, clutches and bags or even on coats.

This pattern is given for a button that’s one inch across. You could use the same method and crochet around any size bone ring for bigger or smaller buttons. You basically work enough stitches into the ring to fill it up and then slip stitch around for the second round.
