Row 1: Make 23 FHDC. Ch 1. Turn
Row 2-16: HDC in each stitch. Ch 1. Turn = 23 HDC
Row 17: HDC in the next 19 stitches. Chain 2. Skip 2 stitches. HDC in last 2 stitches. Chain 1. Turn. (this row makes the button hole).

Row 19. HDC in each stitch. Fasten off, weave in this end, but not the long, starting tail.
