A wardrobe detail such as a knitted belt can serve not only as an addition to your everyday dress, be it a jacket, a sundress, or a coat. An original knitted belt can do a lot: refresh a boring outfit with new emotions, complete a conceived image or give it a new sound, and even create a completely new, exclusive image, emphasizing your individuality.
How to knit a belt with knitting needles? There are several ways, and which one is right for you depends on the choice of belt model.
knitting cords
If you need thin belt, it is easiest to knit according to the principle of knitting a cord with knitting needles. V in this case the belt is tied with 6 face loops, in the form of a hollow cord. To knit such a belt, you will need straight knitting needles open on both sides. How to work: type 6 loops on the needles and knit them with the front ones. When you reach the end of the row, move the stitches to the other edge of the knitting needle. And again knit from the 1st loop of the row, the loops on the needle will close into a ring. Don't worry if it doesn't look very neat. When you knit in this way, several rows of the loop will become smoother. After tying the belt to the desired length and securing all the loops, slightly pull the edges of the belt in different directions. Now all the loops are aligned and the belt is ready. If desired, a dense cord or tape can be inserted inside this belt, which will make it more elastic and prevent it from stretching when worn. For knitting a thin belt, you can use and
For the manufacture of wider hollow belt a double elastic pattern is suitable. When calculating the number of loops for a double elastic, it should be borne in mind that the knitting is double and the loops will need twice as much as with ordinary knitting. Its scheme is as follows: we collect an even number of loops, suitable for the intended width of the belt, and knit the 1st row with an elastic band 1x1 (1 front,
1 purl). In the second and all subsequent rows, we knit only the front loops, and remove the purl without knitting, while leaving the working thread in front of the removed loop. Turning the work in each row, it turns out that we knit, as it were, in a circle, and inside. A cavity is obtained from the belt.
You can knit the original belt with knitting needles in other ways. For example, the belt for a sundress is connected by two patterns: front satin stitch and garter stitch. Belt scheme: 1 edge loop (remove without knitting), 4 garter stitches (all loops in all rows are front), 5 loops of the front surface (in the front rows, all loops are front, in the purl - purl), 4 loops in garter stitch, 1 edge ( purl). Knit a belt according to the proposed pattern to the desired length.
Wide belt knitting, it is best to knit with embossed patterns with aran or braids. Moreover, it is better to knit the edges of such a belt on both sides with garter stitch, as in the diagram of a belt with braids. Having picked up suitable pattern, calculate his report and add 2 or 3 loops on both sides garter stitch... Tie the belt to the desired length and close all the loops. You can use a matching backing tape to fix the shape of the belt.

OBI knitted belt
Another interesting option knitting belt knitting - OBI knitted belt... This belt is a versatile Asian-style accessory. Thanks to the design with ties, the OBI knitted belt can be worn with both thin and voluminous clothes, giving the everyday look an oriental style.
The length of the finished belt is 60/91 cm. The belt is tied with two types of elastic 2x2 and 1x1, partial knitting.
At the beginning of work, it is necessary to tie the central part of the belt with a 2x2 elastic band. The knitting density of the elastic is 2x2 = 28p. x 30r. = 10x10 cm.
To do this, cast on the needles 62/94 loops and knit with a 2x2 elastic band, according to the scheme of 13 rows. The diagram shows only the front rows, in the purl rows - knit loops according to the pattern of the canvas. In the 14th row, make holes for the cord, knit as follows: 2 persons., * Yarn, 2 purl knit together, 2 knit *, repeat from * to * to the end of the row. Then knit 13 more rows with a 2x2 elastic band and close all the loops according to the pattern. For knitting the side parts of the belt, along the edges of the central part from the front side, lift 31 loops and knit with an elastic band 1x1 approximately 19/29 cm. Finish in the wrong row and close all loops according to the pattern. To knit the cord, cast on the open knitting needles on both sides - 3 loops, and knit them with the front ones. Move the work to the other edge of the knitting needle and knit 3 again. In this way, tie the cord to the desired length and thread it into the center of the belt. OBI knitted belt - ready!
knitting belt, knitted belt, original knitting belt
Knitting belts is one of the most popular activities among crochet masters. Various techniques can be used to create rigid and dense accessories with a long service life.
This article offers interesting ones with diagrams and descriptions, some of them perform an exclusively decorative function, others can successfully replace a regular belt.
What yarn is suitable for making a belt
When choosing a material, one should be guided by the purpose of the future product. Below you can see different photos and even a master class. Moreover, the appearance and scope of each of these items are completely different.
Narrow laces and lace belts are often used to decorate wide tunics or dresses. For these products, you can safely use absolutely any yarn. The main thing is that in color and texture it matches the rest of the wardrobe.
Here will be appropriate different kinds cotton, linen, viscose, wool, microfiber, polyamide and even acrylic. True, you should be more careful with acrylic, since many products made from this material look frankly cheap.
To make a wide and dense crochet belt, the diagram and description of which include some kind of solid pattern, you will need a tough cotton or Sometimes decent appearance can be achieved using polyamide or microfiber, but in this case the knit should be very tight.
Crochet narrow belt: diagram and description
The photo below shows the manufacturing sequence of the simple belt... You will need a little material, about 10 grams. The thread should be fairly thick, at least 200 m / 100 grams.
Even with minimal knitting skills, you can crochet such a belt. The diagram and description of the product are extremely simple:
- Tie a chain of four air loops (VP).
- In the second loop, knit 5 single crochet stitches (STBN).
- In the last loop, perform 1 STBN.
- Rotate the canvas and tie one lifting loop.
- In the second STBN, knit 5 STBN, then in the 3rd STBN, perform another STBN.
- Rotate the work and repeat the sequence described in the 4th and 5th paragraphs.
The cord of the required length is supplied with strings - and that's it, the product is ready! In fact, this is the most primitive and elementary. All other patterns are designed according to the same principle, but contain a much larger number of rows.
The ties can be just threads, chain stitches, or even decorative ribbons. To make them heavier at the ends, it is recommended to sew on beads.
Openwork belt from and description
This model has been consistently popular for a very long time. For its manufacture, several identical or different fragments are knitted, which are then connected into a tape.
Surely every knitter has a favorite round or square piece that she can literally do with her eyes closed; it is quite suitable for such a product as a crochet belt. The diagram and description of one of the motives are presented below.
First you need to tie a chain of 6 VPs and close it in a ring, then do the following:
- 4 VP, lush column of 3 columns with a crochet (STN), 5 VP, * a magnificent column of 4 ST, 5 VP *. Repeat from * to * to the end of the row.
- * 5 VP, 3 StN with a common top, pico from 3 VP, 3 StN with a common top, 5 VP, StBN *. Repeat from * to * to the end of the row.
The resulting flower has six peaks, which is very convenient for drawing up an even belt (two peaks on each side are connected to the second flower, two remain above and below). Such belts are needed to emphasize the waist.
Good example simple flower... Being very knitted, it will be a great decoration for many dresses.
If the product is going to be worn on the hips, then it is advisable to choose pentagonal motifs.
They need to be connected so that the belt gets a semicircular shape.
Tight jeans belt
The next kind of knitted belts is designed for a practical function: they are tucked into the loops of trousers and skirts.
Of course, the canvas of such products must be very rigid, otherwise it will stretch and there will be no sense in it. As mentioned above, cotton, linen, polyamide and wool can be considered optimal.
The thickness of the thread is at least 180-200 m / 100 grams, the knitting is very tight. To achieve sufficient density, you can use a crochet hook that is smaller than the one recommended for the selected yarn (for example, not # 4.5, but # 3).
Secrets of tight knitting
The pattern can be simple single crochets or the most elementary ornaments. If the selected thread is not stiff enough, you can apply the following technique:
- Knit a row of STBN.
- Turn the canvas and perform another row, tying the newly formed STBNs. That is, each of them will be double.
- Repeat the algorithm described in points 1 and 2.
This method is also good for making cap peaks, hat brims, and stand-up collars.
Crochet belt is a knitted accessory that many knitters prefer to make. When crocheting, you can use different knitting techniques. And this allows you to create models for various purposes: for decorating a wardrobe or replacing a regular belt. It is necessary to determine the purpose of the future product in order to choose the size of the hook, which the belt will be crocheted with, as well as the type of yarn. The thinner the size of the hook, the more delicate and decorative the accessory will be. Hooks large sizes you can usually knit a belt using beads and other additional elements that will decorate it during the knitting process. Of course use additional elements to decorate the belt during knitting is possible when working with a smaller crochet, but this is very, very painstaking work. It is within the power of experienced craftswomen. For a belt, they often use different technique knitting laces, fragments. The latter - the fragments are connected together in a long strip.
The type of yarn to choose for making a belt
So, for example, in order to knit narrow belts-cords or fishnet belts for work, you can choose any yarn. Such belts have a decorative value and are used as decoration for a wide tunic or dress. Naturally, when choosing yarn for this purpose, one should take into account the color and texture of the yarn. It is necessary to ensure that these parameters correspond to the color and texture of the wardrobe elements. All types of threads are suitable: cotton, linen, viscose, wool, polyamide, microfiber and even acrylic. When using acrylic yarns, you should be more careful when choosing a pattern, since products made from such yarns often look cheap.
Wide and dense belts are knitted from tough cotton or linen yarn. Most often, such belts are knitted using solid patterns. If the work is done with polyamide yarn or microfiber , then the pattern is chosen very dense. For knitting dense crochet patterns, ordinary posts are often used without nakida.
Narrow belt
In the above photoa sequential description of the manufacture of the simplest belt is given. To knit such an accessory, you need about ten grams of yarn. The threads should be thick, with at least two hundred meters per one hundred grams of yarn in one skein. Even a beginner knitter can knit such a belt. Knitting begins with a chain of four air loops. Abbreviated air loops will be designated "VP".
The sequence of knitting a pattern for a belt:
- In the second loop of the chain we knit five columns without nakida (pictured above ). Next column without nakida will be written as " StBN "
- In the last loop of the chain we knit one column without nakida
- We turn the canvas. One VP for raising a row
- In the second column without nakida we knit five columns without nakida
- In the third STBN we knit another STBN
- We turn the fabric again and repeat the knitting in the same way as indicated in paragraphs 4 and 5, turning the fabric each time.
We knit a cord of the required length. Ties are sewn to the ends of the cord. As strings, you can use ordinary threads, a chain of air loops, or you can also use a decorative ribbon. A narrow crochet belt is ready!
Openwork belt made of motifs of different shapes
This belt model has been popular for a long period of time. The essence of the manufacture of this model is the connection of several separately connected identical or different fragments to each other into a tape. Such fragments can be square or round shape... Each craftswoman has her own favorite fragment forms.
The sequence of knitting a pattern for a belt, knitted from various fragments:
If the model is planned to be worn on the hips, then it should be knitted from pentagonal motifs. Moreover, they should be connected to each other in such an order that the product turns out to be a semicircular shape.

It is important to choose the correct colors and accessories for the belt to make it look presentable. Detailed description for crocheting unusual models belts later in this article.
Very often, as the main yarn for a belt, they use iris threads... But they are more suitable for summer and openwork options.
For those, who wants to get a very durable belt - it is better to use a thicker belt. Ideally, everything is made of pure cotton, since it will not heat up, and it will be possible to use such a belt at any time of the year, and also will not cause allergic reactions.
In addition to yarn often use beads, there is a very interesting technique weaving crochet immediately with beads. This allows beads or beads to be set into threads within the fabric. This work looks very nice. But simple embroidery over the canvas looks great too. The hook is pulled out after the yarn, and it just needs to fit the yarn.
