Warming belt

Pattern: (number of stitches must be a multiply of 2 + 1 stitch):

1. row: * knit 1, purl 1 *, knit 1    repeat from * to *

2. row: * knit 1, purl 1 *, knit 1    repeat from * to *

Gauge: 13 stitches and 20 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm  (4 inches x 4 inches)

Note: With 151 stitches for the belt you will get a length of 115 cm (46 inches) – if you need another length for your belt, cast on more or less stitches. It’s the same with the pockets. If your warming pad has another size, please adjust the pockets to it.

Let’s get started:

Pocket:

Cast on 25 stitches and knit 1. and 2. row of pattern.

Repeat these rows until you have 25 rows.

Next row: cast off.

Knit this pocket twice.

Belt:

Cast on 151 stitches and knit 1. and 2. row of pattern.

Repeat these rows until you have 25 rows.

Next row: cast off.

Finishing:

Sew the pockets onto the belt like it is shown at the picture. Put on the buttons. Take the crochet hook and make two buttonholes on the opposite site of the belt.

Heating up the warming pads, put them into the pockets und fasten the belt – happy warming.
