one-row buttonhole technique

This buttonhole works for pretty much every project I can imagine. It is worked on 1 row as the title implies and results in a tidy, neat, symmetrical and stretchy hole. The buttonhole itself is worked over the number of stitches desired in the buttonhole PLUS ONE. So, a 3-stitch buttonhole is actually worked over 4 stitches in order to close up both sides. Make sure to account for the extra stitch as you're planning your buttonhole placement!
