Gauge is not important. Hook to match thread weight.

Pick a button that is slightly smaller than the circular swatch produced by the first row of dcs. It doesn’t have to be a button; flat-ish beads, coins, disc magnets have all successfully worked, as has polyfill stuffing.

Row 1: work ch2 and 12 dc in magic ring. Place button over work and continue working next rows over it. If the button/bead/disc has a hole, pass the loose thread resulting from tightening the magic ring through and use to fasten off work at the end. (I even use this to secure button to the item of clothing.)

Row 2: ch1, *sc in first dc, sc2tog in next two dcs*, repeat ** until end

Row 3: sc2tog until button is covered. Fasten off.
