PUTTING IT TOGETHER:
Beginning with a burgundy piece slip the swimsuit bra hook (solid section) over the crochet piece pulling it to the center. Fold piece in half. If you like, you can tack the top closed. Slide gold crochet piece through the doubled holes of previous piece. Fold in half and tack closed. Rep with remaining pieces alternating colors. It is important to sew the top of the last piece closed and slide this over the open loop of the swimsuit bra hook.
It's simple and easy to adjust the belt's lenght. It you want to make it larger, just add more pieces. Smaller: use fewer pieces.
Using DMC Pearl Cotton you can get a wider varity of colors and it is softer to the touch than size 10 crochet thread, but just as easy to work with.
