This is a one-skein quick project designed to add a little flair to an outfit.If you need something to wrap around an oversized shirt or add a little bit
of bling to a pair of jeans, this is it! By nature, the center garter stitches ofthis design will stretch, however the outer i-cord edging prevents toomuch over-stretching. The beauty of a project like this is that you can tryit on as you go, stretching it gently, then bind off when it fits. The D-Rings are available at fabric stores, and the beads, if unavailable locally,can be purchased online (source listed below). The sample used 42 beadsand measures 35" (89 cm) from the cast on edge to the edge of the D-rings.

SPECIAL TECHNIQUES
ADDING BEADS
To add bead, slip bead onto steel crochet hook, hook next st on leftneedle and slip bead onto st, then slip st as if to purl onto right needle.
Note:The first 3 bead rows are worked on the wrong side of the belt sothat when the belt is fastened through the D-rings, the right side of thebead rows will show.
Belt
Cast on 11 sts
Rows 1-9: K8, WYF slip 3.
Row 10 (Bead row Wrong side): K4, (add bead, K1) twice, WYF slip 3.
Rows 11-23: K8, WYF slip 3.
Rows 24-38: Repeat Rows 10-23 once, then repeat Row 10 once more.
Rows 39-52: K8, WYF slip 3.
Row 53 (Bead row Right side): K4, (add bead, K1) twice, WYF slip 3.
Rows 54-68: K8, WYF slip 3.
Repeat Rows 53-68 until belt measures 21/4" (5.5 cm) less than desired
finished length, ending by working Row 53 and remembering that thefinished measurement when fastened should be calculated from the centerpoint between the third and fourth bead rows where the belt folds backthrough the D-Rings.
Last 5 rows: K8, WYF slip 3.
Bind off as follows: With larger crochet hook, insert hook from left toright through first st on needle dropping st off needle, then single crochetthrough both D-Rings, insert hook through next st on needle from leftto right and through both D-Rings and work single crochet; repeat from
across; slip st in side of belt and finish off.
