Star Stich Pattern In 2 Colors

To make a two-color star stitch pattern you work 2 rows of the star stitch pattern with a main color and change to a contrasting color on the next 2 rows. Repeat these 4 rows to form a two-color star stitch pattern.

Finishing
Using a yarn needle, sew the end of the cast-on piece to the start of the cast-on, this creates the button loop.
Sew on the button in its appropriate place.
