Crocheted Button

These
crochteted buttons work great on so many handmade items. They are
fantastic for those kitchen towels you crochet a top on-- we just don't
always have a larger button to work on those. These can be made
in any color, any yarn, use a smaller hook and thinner yarn to make a
smaller button. Enjoy!
