Working the Buttonholes

On the Right Half of the Back, in the corresponding spots, add button loops as follows:

●      on the right-hand needle, there are 2 sts;
●      over these 2 sts on the right needle, work 3 rows of regular i-cord: (move 2 sts to the left needle, pulling the working yarn taut behind work, knit 2 sts) work 3 times;
●      keeping these 2 sts on the right needle, move the next 2 sts from the left to the right needle;
●      pass the first of the 2 sts (from right to left) over the second one (1 stitch bound off);
●      move the next stitch from the left to right the needle;
●      pass the first of the 2 sts (from right to left) over the second one (another stitch bound off);
●      move the remaining stitch and the two i-cord stitches from the right needle to the left needle.

Continue working i-cord.
