The stitching in this crochet belt pattern gives it a desirable texture and adds character. No boring ol’ belt, here! I chose neutral colors, but you can certainly jazz it up with wild, vibrant colors if you wish.
This textured belt can be crocheted to any length you wish. Once you have the length that fits, switch to working the (narrower) end of the belt. The end is the part that will be threaded through the D rings to fasten. The belt end is the perfect length, so that there is no (sloppy) hanging flap. This makes for a neat and classy appearance when pairing it with a dress or long shirt.
