Sashay Silk Belts
by Liz Haywood
From the description: A little bit belt, a little bit sash, these two silk accessories are quick-knitted and stylish add-ons to a summer wardrobe.
Notions:
- Version A: two 8cm carabiner rings
- Version B: two 6cm carabiner rings
Tension: The belts have a firm tension. Cast on the required number of stitches for your chosen belt, and begin the pattern. Check the width of the belt after several inches. The wide belt should measure 6.5cm / 2.5” wide and the narrow belt 5cm / 2”. If this is so, then continue, but if not, adjust needle size and start again. If you are happy with the firmness of your belt’s tension but it is the wrong width, you may add or subtract a multiple of 2st from the number cast on.
Finished measurements:
- Version A: 6.5cm / 2.5” wide, 132 (137, 142, 147, 152)cm / 52 (54, 56, 58, 60)“
- Version B: 5cm / 2” wide, 117 (122, 127, 132, 127)cm / 46 (48, 50, 42, 54)“
- Belts pictured are 122 (137)cm / 48 (54)“
