This top treatment allows the curtains to be hung in two different styles. One is by the pole pocket for a gathered look. The pocket will accommodate a pole up to 1 ½” in diameter. The other style uses the hook belt. The hook belt is a ribbon-like band sewed into the back of the pole pocket curtain. This is used to reinforce any drapery pins. Drapery pins can then be attached to rings or a traverse rod.
