Crochet Pink Ribbon Pin
Materials:
- Yarn: Worsted weight (#4) cotton yarn in pink (approximately 20 yards)
- Hook: Size H/8 (5 mm) crochet hook
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
- Scissors
Gauge:
Gauge is not crucial for this project, but if you want a precise size, aim for 4 stitches = 1 inch in double crochet.
Abbreviations:
- CH = Chain
- SC = Single Crochet
- DC = Double Crochet
- SL ST = Slip Stitch
Instructions:
Base of the Ribbon:
- Start by making a slip knot and chaining 12.
- Row 1: In the 2nd chain from hook, make 1 SC. SC in each chain across (total of 11 SC). Turn your work.
- Row 2: CH 1, SC in each stitch across (11 SC). Turn.
- Repeat Row 2 until you have 5 rows in total. This will form the center part of the ribbon.
- Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing later.
First Loop:
- From the center of your ribbon piece, fold the top edges towards the center, overlapping slightly. Make sure the middle area forms a loop.
- Using your yarn needle and the long tail, sew the overlapping edges together securely.
Second Loop:
- For the bottom loop, fold the bottom up like the top and secure it in the same way as before, ensuring to give it a slightly rounded shape.
Final Touches:
- To create a 3D effect, you can crochet a few chain stitches to attach the upper portion and the lower portion together by slipping the hook through the fabric and making 1 SL ST to secure it.
- Weave in any loose ends with your yarn needle for a clean finish.
Finishing:
To turn your ribbon into a pin, sew a safety pin to the back or use a brooch fastener. This project works up quickly and is a fantastic way to show your support for breast cancer awareness.
Optional Variations:
Feel free to try different yarn colors to represent various causes or to match your outfit! You can also increase the size by chaining more stitches at the beginning.
