Tots Cardigan with one button fastening

Hi, does anyone have or can recommend a knitting pattern for a tots cardigan with one button fastening. The reason I want one button is that I have lots of odd buttons and as I knit for a couple of charities I could use these up? Hope someone can help please. Regards Jean

A search of Ravelry turns up several. There are also 2 botton sweaters that could easily work as one button.



Many thanks. What I would like is a pattern with the button(s) (one or two) fastening at waist level.
Regards

You might be able to work a cardigan, maybe a V-neck leaving out all but the one or two buttons at the waist.
It may be possible to adapt these patterns by lowering the button or adding a second.



Have you looked at shrugs?

This one is quite gender neutral which might be useful. I think this would work with just the top one or two buttons. I also like mismatched buttons on kids clothes, maybe 2 different colours which compliment the colour of the main body and perhaps a trim on the cuff with a different colour yarn.

Not a cardigan but a single button idea

Single button at waist, I like this style of crossover that can grow a bit with baby if the button is moved.

Or a sweater with open neck and one or two buttons at the neck?

Many thanks for all the patterns - I can adapt these to use one or two buttons and hopefully my stash of buttons will go down. Regards Jean

You’re so lucky to have a stash of interesting buttons. I’m sure it’ll be fun to see them working with a sweater.
