This is my simple quick way of making knobs.
I cut out a round with a hole saw in my drill press.
Then ... (see photo collage below from Left to right, top to bottom)

* I use a hex bolt and chisel out a recess. Then tap in the hex head into the recess so the underside sits flush to knob's bottom. After checking the fit, I remove and epoxy in the bolt.

* Next I plug the hole left by the hole saw.

* Then I flush saw off any protruding dowel.

* Next, I clean up with a chisel.

* After the epoxy has dried, I chuck up the assembled knob in my drill press and smooth out with a rasp.

* While still in the drill press, I smooth it with various sandpaper and it's ready.
