The other design I have in the Interweave Crochet Accessories issue, is "Genevieve's Belt". This belt is made up of 3 simple components, that when combined, make a real statement. Belts are something that you can collect and keep in your accessories wardrobe for years. So it is well worth the time and effort to crochet one! I originally named this belt the "Gallery Belt" because I noticed while blocking the pieces, that they looked like little frames that hold fine art masterpieces in a gallery. I have plans one day, for another version of this belt with different scenes to be embroidered and crocheted in each frame. I think it could be stunning!
Below are photos of the original belt I submitted to the magazine. Luckily, I took some close up shots so you can see the details. It is also nice to be able to see it in another colorway. The only thing I changed in the design was the embroidery stitch used in embellishment. In the magazine I used a "lazy daisy" stitch, sometimes referred to as a "detached chain" stitch, instead of a straight stitch. I love this stitch so much, it has almost become my signature!
You can now purchase this pattern individually, as a download from Interweave.
