How to make a crosswheel Dorset button.

Video tutorial from Jen Best of Beaker Button showing you how to make a crosswheel Dorset Button, the easiest Dorset button to make. This tutorial is perfect for beginner button makers, and will get you on the way to a new obsession. You will need a closed ring, a length of strong thread or sock yarn 100x the width of the rings diameter (so a 25mm ring will need 2.5m of thread), scissors, and a blunt needle.
