Crochet Awareness Ribbon
Materials Needed:
- Worsted weight cotton yarn in pink (approximately 20 yards)
- Size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
- Scissors
Gauge: Not crucial for this project, but approximately 4 inches = 15 stitches in single crochet.
Abbreviations:
- ch: chain
- sc: single crochet
- sl st: slip stitch
Instructions:
- Start with the first tail:
Chain 10.
Row 1: In the 2nd chain from the hook, make 1 sc. Make 1 sc in each ch across. (Total: 9 sc)
Row 2: Ch 1, turn. Make 1 sc in the first st, and then 1 sc in each st across. (Total: 9 sc) Repeat Row 2 until your piece measures approximately 1 inch wide (about 5 rows). Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. - Make the second tail:
Repeat the same steps as above. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. - Assemble the ribbon:
Place the two tails in a crossing fashion to form a ribbon shape. Use the long tail of the first tail to sew it securely to the second tail, ensuring the shape remains intact. - Finishing touches:
Once you have secured the tails in place, weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle. You can gently block the ribbon by pressing it with a damp cloth on a flat surface, reshaping it as needed.
Optional Variations: Use different colors to represent various causes. You can also attach a safety pin on the back to wear it as a pin.
This simple yet significant pattern is a lovely way to craft and support awareness efforts. Enjoy your crochet journey!
