Mastering The Iconic Swanston Dorset Button - A Beautiful Spiral Pattern
This video is a special request showing you how to work the Swanston Dorset button. This beautiful button was designed by Marion Howitt in 1985, and has been a favourite of every button maker ever since.
I've decided to work this on a really large ring in the hopes that everyone can see how to make this. Working small, this design can be confusing; it's not as hard as it seems, but it does need concentration.
Did you know that we have a huge range of rings suitable for Dorset buttons? You'll find them here -
