*Adjust size of band by adding or decreasing the amount of rows you have in the rows 3-14 area of your band

Sew on buttons to opposite side of band from button holes. Add new watch face! Enjoy your new watch
*Designer tip: Because the band is made with yarn, the band might stretch. As it settles to the size it wants to be, you may have to reposition your buttons to fit your wrist.
