This wardrobe accessory is a textile belt that is comfortable to wear. This belt offers options for personal styling because it begins with the choice of a buckle and a complementary yarn. The buckle and ruffle give it personality and the stitchwork highlights the palette, texture, and strength of the yarn. Choosing a yarn with a variegated palette makes it a versatile accessory.

The length and width of the strap are customized: The length of the strap fits a desired waist size. The width is relative to the size of the buckle. Instead of following a prescribed gauge, the knitter chooses a “working gauge” that shows the beauty of the yarn in a densely woven stitch pattern.
