Make a cord, or crotchet a chain using two lengths of yarn together to thread through the waist. Alternatively, you can use a pretty ribbon.

Terms: 
K1 = knit one stitch
P1 = purl one stitch
YON = yarn over needle (to make a stitch leaving a hole)
Make One = Using your right-hand needle, lift the yarn that’s between the stitches onto the left-hand needle to create a stitch, then knit into the back of the stitch (this twists the yarn to make a stitch without leaving a hole)
