Simple and Cute Crochet Belt Pattern
Hello again, and welcome to Strommer Crafts. Today we will be learning how to make simple and cute crochet belt! I thought I would share this pattern even though anyone could have come up with it.

I had recently made an online purchase of a yellow, floral dress for my birthday. When it arrived, I tried it on and quickly noticed that it was missing something…
A belt!
Although, I ashamedly admit, I didn’t have one (but now I do, yay!). So I started browsing through the internet for a cute black belt. After scrolling for a while and not being satisfied with the belt or price, it hit me; why not just make a belt?
I have so much yarn to use, I thought I would at least try to whip one up. Plus it would save me a little bit of cash, which is always a bonus in my book!
This is a great project for beginner crocheters! The only “weird” thing you do in the pattern is crochet in the back loop of your single crochets.
Plus all you need is a bit of yarn and a crochet hook and you’re good to go! I used Black Yarn by Red Heart Super Saver and a 5 mm crochet hook, however, feel free to use whatever yarn and hook size you would like. Just note that different yarn and hook sizes might make your project wider or skinnier.
Feel free to adjust the number of chains at the beginning if you would like a wider or skinnier belt.
The pattern gives it a nice little “ridged” texture, as well as making the ends slightly pointy. I didn’t want my belt to be totally squared off at the ends, and I think the end result looks pretty decent.
I had originally thought about making a single crochet border around the finished belt, but decided against it. I thought the little gaps between the rows gave it a nice texture too. Of course, if you like a little more structure with your crochet projects, feel free to add a border of your choice around.
Alright, let’s get started!
Materials Needed:
- 5 mm crochet hook
- <1 skein of Black Yarn by Red Heart Super Saver
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
Abbreviations Used:
- Ch – chain
- Sc – single crochet
- Sc2tog – single crochet 2 stitches together
Simple and Cute Crochet Belt Pattern:
With Black yarn and 5 mm crochet hook: (if you need help putting your yarn on your hook by slip knotting click here).
- Row 1: Ch 3, from second ch from hook, make 2 sc in that ch and in the next ch make another 2 sc (4 sts)
- Row 2-desired length: Ch 1 and turn, sc in the back loop of each st, repeat for each row. (4sts)
- What is the back loop? If you look straight down on your stitch…it has 2 sides and looks a little bit like a V, insert your hook into the side that is farthest away from you and make your sc. This helps create that nice ridged texture.
- At desired length: Ch1, turn, sc2tog and then sc2tog again (2sts). At the end of your row, cut yarn with scissors and pull through. Weave in ends with tapestry needle.
Tada! It’s really that simple! Here’s another picture of the belt with a different dress. Get creative and tie it in different ways!
