Product Information
Full details
The Hemline Basic Knitwear Button in Lilac is an ideal choice for sewers, knitters, and crafters looking for a reliable, decorative fastener for garments and textile projects. These buttons offer the convenience of a sturdy shank design that provides excellent lift and durability for thicker fabrics or hand-knitted items. While the 11.25mm size is perfect for cardigans, blouses, and light knitwear, users should note that the lilac color is a specific aesthetic choice and may not suit all neutral-toned projects.

FAQs
What is the diameter of these buttons?
These buttons measure 11.25mm, which is equivalent to 18 lignes.
How many buttons are included in one pack?
Each pack contains 8 buttons.
Are these buttons safe for baby clothes?
Yes, they are made from non-toxic materials, making them suitable for use on children's garments.
Can these be used on heavy coats?
These are designed for general knitwear and light garments; they may be too small for heavy winter overcoats.
Does the storage box protect against sun damage?
Yes, the provided clip-top storage box is designed to keep buttons dust-free and UV protected.
How do I attach shank buttons?
Pass your needle through the eye of the shank on the underside of the button and sew back and forth through the fabric, securing with a knot on the reverse side.
Troubleshooting
Button feels loose after sewing
Ensure you have looped the thread through the shank at least four times and secured the knot firmly on the underside of the fabric.
Buttonhole is too tight
If the 11.25mm size is slightly too large for the existing buttonhole, gently widen the hole with a sharp seam ripper, taking care to reinforce the edges with a blanket stitch.

- Convenient, reusable clip-top storage container
- Suitable for both repairs and original designs

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach these buttons, use a sturdy needle and matching thread to pass through the shank loop multiple times to ensure stability. For thicker garments, leave a small thread shank between the button and the fabric to allow for closure. To maintain the life of the buttons, keep them in the provided clip-top box when not in use to avoid exposure to direct sunlight or moisture. The buttons are generally machine washable on a gentle cycle if the garment is turned inside out; however, hand washing is recommended for delicate knitwear to preserve both the thread and the button finish.
