Knitted accessories are increasingly becoming fashionable because they can be combined with clothes made from almost any material. There are especially many options for crocheting a belt. The patterns and descriptions are sometimes so simple that even a completely inexperienced knitter can handle them. In addition, the time and material costs are quite low, which is undoubtedly a plus when creating this spectacular and elegant yarn product.
Using yarn and a hook, you can knit a huge variety of belt options: narrow and wide, from thick fabric and lace, continuous knitting and from motifs. The main thing is to determine in advance whether the accessory will be worn on the dress or on trousers, choose the appropriate color and quality of yarn so that the future belt harmonizes perfectly with the outfit, complementing or refreshing it.
Ribbon lace
Ribbon lace is a very popular knitting method. You can use it to knit anything you like: a stole, tablecloth, dress, etc. It can also serve as finishing for the finished product. The easiest and fastest way, of course, is to knit belts with ribbon lace, which require very little yarn. But despite this, such a belt will look great on a summer dress or tunic; it can be threaded through the loops of trousers or jeans to add some zest. Let's look at the easiest way to create a narrow belt using the ribbon lace technique.
This product uses fairly dense yarn, but you can choose threads of medium thickness or thin ones. At the same time, the width of the belt itself will also decrease. You will need only 10 g of thread.
To get such a belt, follow this description:
- We knit a chain of 4 chain stitches.
- We knit 5 single crochets in the second loop of the chain.
- In the last loop we make 1 single crochet.
- Turn the finished product over to the reverse side and tie 1 loop for lifting.
- In the second single crochet we knit 5 of the same stitches.
- We knit 1 more single crochet in the third stitch.
- We turn the product again.
- We continue to knit, repeating the sequence.
Finally, we sew ties to the belt, which can look like just threads or laces and ribbons. If desired, decorate the product with beads or sequins.
You can find many similar knitting options for both narrow and wide belts. The video below shows only a small fraction of the methods for this type of knitting:
Crochet strap
You can crochet not only belts to decorate and complement your look, but also practical products designed to be worn on jeans and trousers to support them. Such straps are made of very stiff and thick threads, so that later when worn, the belt does not stretch or lose its shape, and they must be knitted in a certain way:
- A row of single crochets is knitted.
- Next, the canvas is turned over to the other side, and another row of single crochets is made, tying the previous one. The result is a fabric made from double single crochets.
These straps are also suitable for skirts made of thick fabric.
Rings on the belt
A belt made of tied rings looks very impressive and original, adding individuality and creativity to your look. This product will suit almost any outfit. It will perfectly complement your dress or tunic, tight jeans or classic trousers, a formal office shirt or a loose light blouse.
To knit such a belt you will need:
- 100 g yarn.
- hook suitable for the selected threads.
- plastic rings.
Plastic rings can be purchased at a craft store or made yourself. The main thing is that they are dense and do not lose their shape.
Let's consider a method for making rings yourself:
- On plastic (the top of a plastic binder works well), using round stencils of the required diameter, draw a circle within a circle. One stencil should be larger, the second smaller, to make rings.
- Cut out the required number of circles with scissors.
Then you can start arranging them. To do this, you first need to tie half of the first ring with a single crochet from the center of the ring. You should get about 12 columns.
Having tied half of the circle, we attach the next ring to it and also tie half.
In this way, we collect all the rings to make a chain equal to the size of your waist. After attaching the last ring, you need to tie it entirely in a circle and continue to tie the remaining rings, not forgetting to make connecting loops in the first single crochet of each circle when completing the element.
When the main part of the belt is ready, you can sew braid or ties to it.
The rings can be connected both as shown in the previous photos and using patterned fabric or motifs.
Crocheting a belt, a step-by-step selection of patterns and descriptions of the work that is attached, will be done very quickly. We suggest crocheting a belt with posts of different heights. You can decorate the belt with flowers made from striped fabric in two colors to match the stripes on the knitted belt.
We crochet a stylish belt: diagram and description of work
In order to knit a belt you will need the following materials:
- Cotton yarn in dark blue, red and white (50 g each);
- Hook No. 3;
- Fabric with red and blue stripes (size for each strip is 65 by 65 cm);
- Safety pins - 2 pcs.
The pattern of this knitting option is carried out according to the principle described below.
First, double crochets are made: in the first row, the double crochet is knitted into the chain stitch of the gacha chain: one double crochet in the fourth chain crochet from the hook; in subsequent rows, the first double crochet must be replaced with three chain crochets.
The diagram shows the knitting of motifs A and B.
Motif A: after the yarn over is completed, insert the hook with a movement away from you between the double crochets of the previous row and grab the leg of the left double crochet from behind, bring it out behind it with a movement toward you, grab the working thread and pull it behind the leg of the double crochet, then pull the double crochet yarn over
Motif B: make a yarn over, insert the hook with a movement towards you and grab the leg of the double crochet in front, bring it out in front of it with a movement away from you, then grab the working thread and pull it in front of the leg of the double crochet, perform a double crochet.
Let's make decorative flowers. From striped fabric you need to cut out two bias tapes 80 cm long and 12 cm wide. Each one needs to be folded in half with the wrong side inward and along the open edges. Using a machine we make easy assembly. Excess fabric along the stitching must be cut off. On the side that is gathered, it is necessary to twist and sew tightly.
We cut out two 0.5 cm circles and fold the edges. We sew decorative pins to the flowers.
This belt will be a great addition to skirts, jeans, and can be worn on a dress.
Let's try to crochet another version of the belt from tied rings
Another very interesting option is to create a belt from tied rings.
To work you will need:
- Yarn – 100g;
- Plastic rings for tying;
- Hook - No. 2.
Let's get to work. We will tie half of the ring with a single crochet, then we will knit a chain of 20 chain stitches as shown in the photo.
We will also tie half of the next ring and again tie a chain of air loops. Thus, we will connect the rings to the required length of the belt. We tie the very last ring entirely, then we knit a chain of 19 single crochets with air loops. It turns out like this blank from rings tied together.
Along the edges of the belt you can attach 4 chains made of 100 air loops; you need it for tying. The end of each chain must be secured with a knot. Now the crocheted belt with rings is ready.
This belt is perfect for knitted or knitted items.
A belt is a very trendy accessory always and everywhere, it is a stylish decoration for things and it is simply impossible to imagine your wardrobe without belts.
At the end of the master class, we offer several interesting videos that present interesting ideas for crocheting belts with detailed descriptions. Try to create new and interesting things with your own hands, which will certainly delight you with their appearance.

To knit a belt we will need: 100 g of fine melange cotton yarn (500 m/100g); 50 g thicker golden faux yarn (100 m/50 g)
How to knit a belt:
You need to fold together 1 thread of fine yarn and 2 threads of golden yarn (you get 3 threads). Next, knit a chain of 5 chain stitches (2 chain stitches and 3 chain stitches in rise) and knit according to the pattern, swapping the pineapples in the pattern, as shown in the diagram. When 7 pineapples are ready, we then knit like this: 10 sc in a row 6 cm long on one side and 10 sc in a row 9 cm long on the other side. Fold the tip of the 6 cm long belt in half, thread a buckle through the end, and sew it on the wrong side.
