The process includes three major steps:
Casting or Slicking: winding the wool yarn around the ring, using a tapestry needle
Laying: creating the spokes of yarn that radiate symmetrically across the button, typically 8 spokes
Rounding: using a backstitch, a new piece of yarn covers the spokes in a basket weave effect
