Crochet Pink Ribbon Pattern


Crochet Pink Ribbon
Written by Adrena Donnelly 2012
a.k.a. Crochet Crazy Mama

Size: One Size (Approximately 2 3/4 inches long)

What You'll Need:
*Size H Crochet Hook
*Small amounts of 4-Ply worsted weight yarn in Light pink and Dark pink.
*Small Pink Button (I used heart shaped buttons)
*Saftey Pin (If you are making a pin)
*Key Ring (If you are making a Key Chain)
*Yarn Darner/Needle
*Scissors

Skill Level: Beginner/Easy

Abbreviations:
Ch=Chain
HDC=Half Double Crochet
SC=Single Crochet
St(s)=Stitch(es)
SlSt=Slip Stitch


Foundation: With Light Pink, Ch 22.

Round 1: HDC into the second Ch from the hook, and in each remaining Ch across.

Round 2: With Dark Pink, attach new color by pulling one strand of new color through the last HDC on the previous row. Ch up 1 and turn. SC in the next 20 Sts. 3 SC in the next St. Working on the opposite side of the Ch, SC in the next 20 Sts. 3 SC in the last St. Join with a SlSt to the first SC. End off and weave in yarn tail. 

Fold the yarn so that the lighter pink is to the front and the darker pink to the back. Then take one side and cross it over the front of the other. Using a yarn darner/needle sew the center of the ribbon securely at it's crossing point. Then sew on a small pink button at the crossing point on the front side of the ribbon. The ribbon is complete.

To use the ribbon as a pin simply place a safety pin on the back side of the ribbon and pin onto clothing, hats, or other accessories. To use the ribbon as a key chain, slide a key ring through the top loops of the ribbon.

Lastly, wear or show off your ribbon for breast cancer awareness to show your support for the cause! :)

Completing The Lovey

To complete the lovey blanket you will need to sew all of your parts together. Begin by sewing the inner part of the ears to the center front of the outer part of the ears. Then you will have to sew the ears to the top of the bunny head, making sure that the front pink side of the ears is facing the same direction as the face of your bunny. Then you will have to attach the bunny head to the center of the star blanket. Sew it securely so that it won't come apart later. Lastly make sure to weave in and hide any remaining yarn ends.

*Optional: Cut a small amount of ribbon to match your blanket and make a bow around the bottom of the bunny head where it meets the blanket.

Crochet Pink Ribbons for Breast Cancer Awareness


October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I came up with these crocheted pink ribbons in honor of those who have lost, won, or are still currently fighting in the battle against cancer. I personally know many of those who have fought the battle.

The pattern for this ribbon will be posted for FREE here on my blog. I will be posting that either tonight or sometime tomorrow. The pattern is very simple, uses up a small scrap amount of yarn, and takes only a few minutes to make. I came up with 2 different ways to display your support for the cause. The first ribbon in the picture above is displayed as a key ring. Proudly display your support right from your key chain. The second ribbon in the picture is being displayed as a pin. Pin the ribbon to your shirt, jacket, scarf, hat or wherever you would like to show your support wherever you go! What do you all think?

Keep a look out for the pattern. It will be up soon! :)
