How to Crochet a Belt

Quick & easy crochet belt tutorial for any skill level! This boho inspired belt is a fabulous accessory that you can whip up in no time. Grab your hook and follow along the video tutorial below. The free written pattern can be found below the video as well!

Materials needed:

  • 2mm recycled cotton cord from Ganxxet (You could also use 2mm macrame cord from the craft store. Traditional cotton yarn tends to be too flimsy.)

  • I used an old belt buckle I already had but you can also purchase them from the craft store.

  • 6mm crochet hook

  • Tapestry needle

  • Scissors

Skills Used:

  • Slip Knot

  • Single Crochet

  • Slip Stitch

  • Half-Double Crochet

  • Single Crochet two together

If any of these are new to you I recommend checking out my Beginner Crochet Pinterest board for quick tutorials

Instructions:

Begin with a Slip Knot

Slip Stitch around the middle post of the belt buckle

Rotate buckle so that you’re looking at the backside

Row 1:

Single crochet x2 on each side of the buckle post

Chain 1 & turn

Row 2- Length Desired:

*Half double crochet x 4

Chain 1 & Turn*

Repeat from * until you have the length desired

Finishing Rows:

Single crochet the first two stitches together

Single Crochet the last two stitches together

Chain 1 & Turn

Skip the first stitch and slip stitch in the last stitch

Tie off & weave in the ends!
