You will need: 95 yards mercerized cotton light worsted weight yarn for each belt 1 pair size 1 needles Scissors Tape measure Yarn needle Two 1-inch D-rings for each belt Gauge for ribbed belt Gauge should be 11 stitches per 1 ¼ inches in ribbed pattern on size 1 needles, with ribbing relaxed. Knit the first few inches of the belt to make sure your gauge matches. If it does not, change your needle size to achieve the right gauge and start again. Exact gauge is not critical for this project. for linen-weave belt Gauge should be 12 stitches per 1 ½ inches in linen-weave pattern on size 1 needles. Knit the first few inches of the belt to make sure your gauge matches. If it does not, change your needle size to achieve the right gauge and start again.
