Buckle of your choice.
Measure your yarn, double what you need so you can loop it on your
buckle, note diagram 1. Page 39.
You will need 12 strands to work with to make a 2 inch belt.
This is a square knot, so you work with 4 strands at a time, just follow
the diagrams. The first row will have three knots, on the next row skip
the first two strands and work with the next four, only two knots in the
second row, then three knots in the third and so on bind off yarn at the
end.

_KNIT_
All visual patterns can be knitted. Look at the croc. pattern, find out
how many ch. sts. you start out with and cast on one st. less. Use
number 8 large size knitting needle. This makes the same gauge—2 sts. to
the inch, 2 rows to the inch. When just the border pattern is given,
look at the croc. pattern to find out how many rows to make. Most of the
patterns for rugs use a double strand of yarn; just hold them together
and knit as you would one strand.
_INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING FRINGE_
(_1¼″ Loop Recommended_)
Working with wrong side of rug up, attach two strands of yarn to edge of
rug, and with crochet hook pull both strands of yarn through a single
crochet stitch and form the 1¼″ loop. Then wrap one strand of yarn back
under the loop. Pull the strands up snug; then to form the next 1¼″
loop, pull both strands of yarn through the next stitch to the left, and
again wrap one strand under the last loop made. Proceed this way all
around the rug.
_LOOP STITCH PATTERN_
*Loop st.—Put your needle through st. wrap yarn over your finger twice
counter clockwise. With needle go under 1st. strand through loop on
