I was in need of a belt to match some interesting fabric in some muted colors. After finding no ribbon in a coordinating pink (all the pink ribbons were too purple or too peachy) I went to the yarn department and finally found something new to me: recycled cotton Macrame by Lion Brand yarn. Macrame was big in the 70s and I have some books and patterns, so home I went with one spool of the thick and soft cord in the perfect pale pink.
My practice with any new fiber product is to play around with it and find out what the yarn or fabric wants to be. I braided a few strands, knotted a bit, and then tried crochet hooks in various sizes. I got best results with a size P (11.5mm) crochet hook. I ended up with 4 belts from that one spool.
From left to right I have:
- Braided belt for a child;
- Belt made in slip stitch crochet;
- Belt in slip stitch crochet around top and bottom of foundation chain; and
- Belt made with double crochet.
I think someone more experienced with knotting could make a nice macrame belt with this cord, but I found crochet with the big hook gave me similar results more quickly.
Imagine, I can even do this pretty belt and I have been roaming to buy belt
This is so pretty and I absolutely love the colors
Thank you for reading. These were really quick and fun to make. !PIZZA

BEER.Macrame is making a bit of a comeback these days, but I wouldn't want it as a belt. My considerations are quite utilitarian, though. Your option to dye a white cord and make a fashion accessory from scratch is pretty darn cool.
I actually found the cord in pink, so I did not have to dye it. That would have been my next strategy if I could not have found the pink, though. !PIZZA
Very nice! I skimmed over the part about it being pink already in my midnight reading, and it didn't look obviously pink on my screen in the packaging. Saving a step is bonus winnings!
Great job! I love it when you find yourself in need of an item and have the ingenuity to create what you need...Bravo!
