Buttons for Cardigans & Sweaters

A cardigan is only as good as its buttons. Whether you're finishing a hand-knitted project or replacing a lost button on a favourite knit, the right button makes all the difference. Our cardigan and sweater buttons come in classic horn and corozo imitation — warm browns, soft greys, cream and black — made from durable resin that keeps its colour and handles the wash without cracking.

Which sizes do you need?

• Fine-knit cardigans: 15–18 mm. Merino and cotton cardigans usually take 5–7 buttons down the front.
• Chunky and heavy knits: 20–25 mm. Thicker fabric needs a larger button to sit right and pass through a hand-knitted buttonhole.

For a knitting project, count your pattern's buttonholes and add a spare. For a repair, bring one existing button to match size and colour — or use our tool below to compare.

Every button ships quickly from our warehouse in the EU, with free shipping on orders over €20 and no minimum order. Whether you need a single replacement or a full set for a new project, you'll find it here.
