To get the 51” length I repeated the pattern for 5 times and then worked 2-17 and then fastened off—it was the end of my 2 skeins of DMC Pearl Cotton.
Do it in three or more colors to get a different look.  Just pick part of the pattern to repeat like the small stripes and again you’ll achieve a different belt entirely.
