  1. Make an adjustable ring, known as a "magic ring", with your wool.Make a chain stitch to secure the ring.
  2. Chain two more stitches from the loop on your hook.Row eleven double weaves around the magic ring.Lightly pull the ends of the magic ring to close it into a tight circle.
    • Note that the initial pair of those two chain stitches will now count as just one double crochet.
    • Your circle should have 12 double crochets in total, counting the two initial chain stitches.
  3. Cut the wool, leaving a long tail, and pull this tail through the loop on your hook to tie it tight.
    • The tail should be at least 8 inches (20.32 cm) long.
  4. Insert the tail of the wool through the eye of a basting needle, loosely tying the end of the wool to the needle to hold it in place.
    • Alternatively, you can also just hold the wool in place with your fingers instead of tying it.
  5. Insert the basting needle over the first of your double crochets and bring it out through the back circle of the last stitch.
    • Note that you need to thread it through your very first double crochet, not the two initial chain stitches.
    • This should create the illusion of another stitch and give a clean look with a round edge at the front.
  6. Use the darning needle to thread the tail through the stitches along the back of the button, securing it while hiding it.

  1. Each of the decorated buttons begins with one of the plain buttons described above.Since the dots are easier to see in the magic ring version, that's usually the preferred version, but you can experiment with either option.
  2. Use a crochet hook and darning needle to thread a complementary color of wool through the edges of your double weaves into a magic ring button.
    • Insert the hook into the loop at the top of one of your double crochets.Grab the different colored wool from the other side and pull a loop through the front.
    • With the loop still on the hook, insert the hook into the middle of the next double stitch on your button, pulling a new, second loop onto your hook.
    • Pull this second loop through the original one on your hook.
    • Continue in this way, working counterclockwise and pulling new loops in between all the double crochets.
    • As you pull the wool through the last stitch, cut the wool and pass the tail through the eye of a darning needle.Insert the needle under both loops of your first stitch of a different color and back through the back loop of your last stitch.Pull the wool to the back of the button.
    • Sew the tail to the back of the button with the darning needle.
  3. You can make a simple six-pointed star or snowflake by weaving about 12 inches (30.5 cm) of different-colored wool diagonally through the double loops of a simple magic ring button with a darning needle.
    • Cut a piece of different colored wool that measures 12 inches (30.5 cm).
    • Thread the end of this wool through the eye of a darning needle.
    • Insert the needle through the two loops of a double cast on your button.Working across the top of the button, insert the needle into the center of the button, pulling it out to the back.
    • From the back, insert the needle a second time under two loops of the next double cast in your button.From the front, insert the needle back into the center of the button.
    • Continue in this way, creating six lines extending from the center to the edge of the button.
    • Thread the ends of the wool through the stitches on the back of the button to secure everything in place.
  4. [1] A floral decoration is slightly more complex and requires a different color of wool for the center and a second different color for the five petals.
    • For the center of the flower:
      • Thread the wool onto your darning needle.
      • Pull the darning needle through the center of the button.Thread it through an inner ring in the center of the button and bring it up the other side.Turn the wool around the tip of the needle.
      • Pull the length of wool through the two loops you just created.
      • Repeat, working a similar stitch into each loop in the center of the button.Tie it to the back of the button.
    • For the petals:
      • Thread the wool onto the darning needle.
      • Pull the needle up to the center of the button, from underneath the center of your flower.Do not pass it through the center of the flower, but on the edge.
      • Insert the needle into the center again.Don't pull the loop that is created;instead, leave enough thread to extend beyond the perimeter of the button.
      • From the back of the button, insert the needle through the stitch at the edge of the button, pulling it towards the front and through the loop you created from the center.
      • Pull to tighten the ring.The first petal should be ready.
      • Thread the needle over the outside edge of the petal and back to the back of the button.
      • From the back, repeat the same steps, creating four more petals.Tie at the back after you're done.

  1. Form an adjustable ring with your wool, commonly known as a "magic ring."At the end of the ring, chain stitch to secure it in place.
    • If necessary, pull the ends of the ring to close it into a tight circle.
    • This completes the first round.
  2. Chain stitch to move on to the next round.Make two single crochets in each stitch of the previous round, joining the last one to the first with another sliding stitch.
    • This creates an increase, widening your circle.
    • You should have a total of 20 crochet stitches on this round.
    • After finishing this round, compare it to the size of the button.If you're on the right track, you should make one more front turn to cover the front of the button.
  3. Chain stitch to move on to the next round.Single crochet in the next stitch on the next round, then double crochet in the next stitch after that.Continue all the way around the button, joining the last stitch to the first with another running stitch.
    • You should have a total of 30 points this round.
    • Now, your button cover should be about the same size as the button.If it is slightly larger, it will still be fine, because the excess wool can be wrapped behind the button.
  4. Chain stitch to move on to the next round.Single crochet the first five stitches from the previous round, then single crochet decreasingly over the next two stitches from the previous round.Repeat all the way around, closing the ends with a slip stitch.
    • You should have 26 points this round.
    • The piece should begin to curl into a bowl shape.
  5. Chain stitch to move on to the next round.Single crochet in each of the next two stitches.Make a decreasing single crochet over the next two stitches.Continue like this all the way around, joining the ends with a sliding stitch.
    • There should be 20 points in this round.
  6. Chain stitch to move on to the sixth round.Make a decreasing single crochet in the next two stitches.Repeat all the way around, joining the last stitch to the first with a running stitch.
    • This should give you a 10 point spin.
    • Thread the button into the cover at this point.You may need to do this before making the last slip stitch, just to make sure the button goes in.
  7. Chain stitch to move on to the next round.Make a single decreasing stitch on the next two stitches, and repeat all the way around.Join the last stitch to the first with a slip stitch.
    • You should score five points in total for this round.
    • At this point, the entire back of the button should be more or less covered.
  8. Trim the wool, leaving a tail 8 inches (20.3 cm) long.Pull this tail through the loop on your hook to secure it, then thread the tail back and forth through the last few stitches to close the cover and secure the ends in place.

Advice

  • To make a single decreasing stitch, wrap the wool around the tip of the hook, insert the hook into the appropriate place, and wrap the wool around the hook from the other direction.
    • Pull through this loop, wrap the wool again, and insert the hook into the next stitch.
    • Wrap more wool from the other direction, and pull another loop across the front.
    • Pull the last loop through the two on your hook to complete the stitch.
