A button knot is a knot that forms a bulge of thread. Button knots are essentially stopper knots , but may be esthetically pleasing enough to be used as a button on clothes.
The single-strand button is a third type of knob knot , in which the working end leaves the knot at the neck, parallel with the standing part, so that the two parts, or ends, together form a stem. The lay of the two ends is the same, and the knot is symmetrical throughout.
There are many methods for tying button knots, such as the Chinese button knot , the Celtic button knot and the monkey fist . The Ashley Book of Knots contains over a hundred examples.
