Traditionally, loops for the belt on products are made from the main fabric. But as a decorative element, loops can be made of contrasting fabric, beautiful braid, as well as threads for knitting.
For a light coat of variegated woolen fabric, decorated with threads for knitting, loops for the belt can be made from the same threads.
You will need:
- ruler for marking allowances;
- tailor pins;
- scissors for needlework;
- woolen threads for knitting;
- a needle for drawing gum, or a needle for stitching knitwear, or a regular large needle with a large eye
Step 1
Using tailor's pins, ruler and belt, mark up for loops.
Step 2
Pull the woolen thread from the wrong side of the product to the front.
Step 3
Sew a small “back needle” stitch so that you have a loop.

Step 4
While holding the loop with your thumb and forefinger, grab the thread with your middle finger and pull it into the loop.
Step 5
Tighten the thread, forming a new loop and the first loop-knot of the future loops.
Step 6
Next, perform the following loop-knot, again pulling a new loop. And so on, forming a chain of pigtailed loops.
Step 7
Having received the necessary length of the decorative loops (it should be slightly longer than the markings), thread the needle through the last loop and tighten the thread.

Step 8
Bring the tail of the thread to the wrong side.
Step 9
Fix both tails in a canvas and hide in the allowances of the side seams. Cut the edges of the threads.
