Green Belt


This is the transformation of the second pair of cheap earrings I bought last month -
another crocheted ring belt.


This time I decided that the variation in ring sizes added enough interest, so the belt was done in one color and without breaking the yarn. First I crocheted consecutively only one half of all the rings and on the return I closed the rings.



The connection between the rings is a chain stitch and a slip stitch on the way back:



I'm linking this post to Linda's Creative Friday, where you can find plenty more FO this week!


In the end I'd like to invite you to visit Rinako's amazing giveaway. 
Isn't that yarn just gorgeous!

Rings Crochet Belt


Project: Rings Crochet Belt
Yarn: YarnArt Jeans various colors
Rings: zinc alloy
Hook: 2.5 mm
Time to crochet: a couple of hours


I was looking for quite a different crocheted belt pattern, when I came upon this photo and my daughter said she'd be happy to have one for her summer wardrobe. Given the various remnants of YarnArt Jeans that I have, this seemed the perfect little summer project. However, I could not find the right curtain rings, so bought these super cheap {ugly} earrings (only 50c the pair!) and voila - in only a couple of hours I had these lovely pastel color rings. If you don't know how to crochet around a ring - here's a video on youtube:


Then I arranged and rearranged the rings until I found the right color arrangement:


The rings are joined using a needle and the yarn tails:
