No, the other way round. Women are always right .

I think it's still "right over left for boys" and "left over right for girls".

I wonder how these customs came about? Its probably something to do with which hand knights held their swords. Does anyone know?

Every knitting pattern says: for boys make the buttonholes on the left hand side.

I'm knitting for a boy baby. Is it still "right over left for boys" and "left over right for girls" when it comes to buttonholes? Or has that fallen by the wayside ?

It may even be the other way round...can't remember!
