Button 21: Diced Button, 2 colors

Diced Button (basketweave design) w/two colors.

I used 1.5" button mould.

DMC Coton Perle #5, Colors 368 & 776.

These are such a challenge (for me), so I added a square frame

using the corner anchors.   And, added a few more rounds

of fiber to cover up the mould.

P.S. Lavinia, I took your advice and added more fiber

around the button mould.
