Afghan Belt Pattern #2007

Ch 19, turn and work as follows in afghan st: Skip 1st st from hook, draw up a loop in each ch st, retaining all loops on hook. This is half a row. For 2nd half, thread over, draw through 1st loop, * thread over, and draw through 2 loops, repeat from * until 1 loop remains on hook.

2nd row: Draw up a loop under the perpendicular bar of next st, retaining loop on hook, draw up loops in each bar of sts on last row, and work off as for 2nd half of last row.

3rd and subsequent rows: Repeat 2nd row for desired length.

Make st in 2nd st of last row. Continue across and back as before, thus having 1 st less each row. Work until there are 10 sts on needle. Crochet off but do not break off. Ch 1, work sc in each of 10 sts across row, 2 sc in corner. Work sc all around the edge of the belt to next corner. Pick up 18 sts and work like the other point. Work sc along other edge of belt. Put buckle on last point made.
