Introduction

Welcome to this crochet button fastener tutorial. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating a crocheted square button. You will learn the step-by-step instructions to make this button and complete it with the back and criss stitches technique. So, let's gather our materials and get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather the necessary materials for this project. You will need:

• Crochet hook
• Yarn in your preferred color
• Scissors

Now that we have everything ready, let's dive into the tutorial!

Step 1: Making the Chain

To start, create a chain of four. Count each loop as one chain stitch. Hold the working yarn with your dominant hand and the crochet hook with your non-dominant hand. Insert the hook into the first chain made, yarn over, and pull through the loop.

Step 2: Joining the Chain in the Round

To join the chain in a round, make a slip stitch through the first single crochet stitch (not through the chain stitch). This will create a round shape for our square button.

Step 3: Single Crochet Stitch

For the first round, chain one to start the new round and single crochet six in the round. Insert the hook into the next stitch, yarn over, and pull through both loops on the hook. Repeat this process until you have six single crochet stitches in the round.

Step 4: Double Crochet Stitch

In the next round, chain three to raise the yarn and replace a double crochet stitch. This stitch will be taller than a single crochet stitch. Yarn over, insert the hook into the next stitch, yarn over again, and pull through. Yarn over and pull through the first two loops on the hook, yarn over again, and pull through the remaining two loops.

Step 5: Making the Corners

To create the corners, double crochet three times in the same stitch. This will increase the number of stitches and form a corner. Continue making double crochet stitches in each of the next two stitches.

Step 6: Round of Single Crochet Stitches

Now, let's work on a round of single crochet stitches. Single crochet into each stitch around, including the corners. This round will add thickness to our square button.

Step 7: Completing the Back

In the next round, repeat the same pattern as the previous round. Chain one, work a single crochet stitch through each stitch in the round, including the corners. This will complete the back of our square button.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully created a crocheted square button. In this tutorial, we covered the step-by-step process, from making the chain to completing the back.
