Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
For our belt,
we start with adding our belt buckle and then work all the way to the end.
You will attach
the buckle using whatever number of stitches we need for our first start
row. Then it is up to you to start the
pattern right off or work a few rows in sc / hdc / dc to get a bit of a flat
end.
The other end
of our buckle has a ‘forked’ finish which , I think , looks lovely. In case you do not want to add a belt buckle,
you can make this a sash type belt and attach a fringe to the start end and
attach a loop to the forked end. If you
are doing this, then you will just start the belt straight off and attach the
tassels at the end. For the loop, you
will just add a few chain from one pointed end to the other pointed end of the
last row, and then work sc back on each chain till end to make it durable.
I will not be
giving you exact numbers here for this end loop bit – just go with the flow...
experiment and create something unique.
If you decide not to use a belt buckle then you just make the loop at the end, slide the other end through it and let it fall sash-like down the side.
You can also knot this sash as it is slim enough to work that way too.
Start : with 5 ch. Turn.
In case you are
using the buckle – 5 loops around the buckle.
For sash, the start is 5 ch.
Row 1 : 3 dc in the 5th
ch from hk ;
ch 2, 3 dc in the same 5th ch from hk.
Turn.
Row 2 : ch 5, sk 1st
3 dc (3 dc ; ch 2, 3 dc) all in the ch-2 sp.
Turn.
So I worked
this pattern and found that first ch-5 too large a loop for me.. and I just
reduced that ch-sp a bit.. and found I totally loved the difference.
Guess I’m gonna return to this pattern and
make it as charted and designed.
If you
have done just this, then do remember to tag me with your creation and we can
ooh and aah together.
And back to the
pattern... rep Row 2 till you have the desired length for your belt.
I think this is a fab easy chevron belt – don’t
you agree ?
Hope you had fun creating this wonderful belt.
Do remember to credit me when you ready to show
off this lovely creation too.
