Channel your inner cowgirl with this cabled western style belt. This is a great project for knitters looking to try out a more complex cable by itself without all shaping that accompanies a cabled sweater or other garment. The focus is on the cable itself, and a selvedge keeps the edges neat and tidy. The belt is easy to customize by simply adding or removing pattern repeats. If you don't have the suggested yarn to hand, try out an acrylic or even a novelty yarn for a different look.

This belt looks great with a tunic and leggings, or cinch your poncho with it. To wear, lace it down at the side like a pair of trainers and let the fringe fly.
