FREE Crochet Pattern - Circles Belt - Matches News Boy Cap in Positively Crochet!

If you have my book, Positively Crochet, you probably have seen the pink and green Circles Belt, shown with the Pink Boucle Newsboy Cap (on pg.95), and wondered why the pattern for the belt is not in the book. There just wasn't enough room, so the publisher (Krause Publications) asked me to post it on my blog. See pattern below.

Pink and Lime Green Circles Belt

Design by Mary Jane Hall

Circles are everywhere! They are on bracelets, necklaces, earrings, purses, belts and shoes. Single crochet is worked around metal rings. This is a very easy beginner pattern, and you can use any kind or weight of yarn.
