| | | | | | | "Kitty Sweater" by Lisa | | | | | | | |  | | | | | | | | This photo of 5 Incomparable cat buttons (L36) sewn onto a beautiful blue sleeveless sweater was sent to us by Lisa in Hawaii. "Got the sweater done and the kitty buttons are on it. Really came out cute, gotten a lot of compliments." Lisa has very kindly offered these handy tips for knitters; How to attach/use buttons easily. 1.) for a kid's garment, make a pullover which looks like a cardigan by making a fake button band up the front and attaching the buttons. Easier for kids to wear since it goes over their head and easier to make. 2.) attach a flat, smaller button to the back of the incomparable button and make two sets of buttonholes in the garment. Fasten the plastic button through both sets making it easier to fasten and easy to change which side buttons out for boy/girl baby sweaters. | |
