Mimi & Lola Patterns French Girl by Kristeen Griffin-Grimes

Mimi & Lola (French Girl FG015) is a knit and crochet belt pattern by Kristeen Griffin-Grimes with two boho belts to wear over a tunic or slung around the hips on jeans. Mimi is a lacy knitted belt with pointed ends and tassels; Lola is a curvy crocheted belt with a crab-stitch edge, mini crochet flowers and braided ties. Each takes only two or three balls of ribbon or tape yarn, so they make quick accessories and gifts.
