Simple Crochet Button Pattern: DC (US SC) Decrease

This document provides instructions for making simple crochet buttons and button loops. The buttons are made in rounds starting with an adjustable ring and increasing stitches in early rounds before decreasing in the final round. Two versions are provided, one joined as you go and one with markers instead of joining. Loops to attach the buttons are made by chaining and joining to the fabric edge or by chaining and covering with double crochet or blanket stitch.

Simple Crochet Button pattern – This simple button pattern will come in handy
when nothing else suits or is available - experiment with yarns, threads & hook sizes –
work pattern in back loops of stitch only – play with multi colours by changing colour on
every round or use variegated yarn/thread – thread beads onto your yarn/thread & bring
them into your work as desired – stuff with wadding for a firm button or cover old buttons
