Next row: bind off 6 stitches, k4
With your 4. remaining live stitches, knit an i-cord 4 inches long
Bind off the i-cord and attached to right side of towel holder by sewing with tapestry needle.
I have decided that no button is necessary if you just hang and pull the loop through the buttonhole. (might be because I’m lazy!)
**Buttonhole
Step 2 -- Slip 1 purl-wise, pass first slipped stitch over second. (repeat this part 2 more times--passing over 3 stitches total, for a 3-stitch buttonhole) Place last stitch back on left needle. Turn work.
Step 3 -- Cast on 4 stitches (for the 3 stitches you bound off, plus 1) using the cable cast-on method.
Step 4 -- Turn work (so RS is facing). Bring yarn to back; slip first st of left needle onto right needle and pass last CO st over it. …you're done! Work to end of the row, or to the next buttonhole!
