Needlepoint belt patterns

A belt is a narrow strip of canvas with a design that repeats along it.

Most of these are 22 stitches tall, 1.2 in on 18 mesh, in anchors, stars, hearts, daisies, gingham, Greek key, chevron and stripes: carry the repeat on to the length your belt needs. The stitched length is shorter than your belt size by an amount your finisher sets, so settle the size with the finisher before you stitch the ends. Start at the center and work outward. All of these use two or three colors.
