Support/Awareness Ribbons

[MimiFL]

I designed this ribbon because I was looking for one that you don’t have to glue in the center to hold it together. The way this one works is, one ‘leg’ has a gap halfway up, and you pass the other leg through it when you’re done, so everything holds together without the help of any props!

 

It’s worked in #10 thread with a #7 hook, and done in very short rows. It comes out to about 2 in. high by 3/4 in. wide. I make these in cancer awareness colors, plus red for aids and yellow for the troops (at least until I get some more colors).

 

 

Special notes: The ch 2 at the beginning of each row doesn’t count as a stitch, just as a turning chain – this avoids having a hole at the beginning of each row. When you do your 3 dc, just ignore the turning chain.

 

Ch 4

 

Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, and in next 2 ch [3 sc]

 

Row 2: Ch 2, dc in each of 3 sc [3 dc]

 

Rows 3-4: Ch 2, dc in ea. Dc [3 dc]

 

Row 5 (pass-through row): Ch 2, dc in first dc, ch 1, sk 1 dc, dc in last dc [2 dc + 1 gap]

 

Row 6: Ch 2, dc in first dc, dc in ch-1 sp, dc in last dc [3 dc]

 

Rows 7-20: Ch 2, dc in ea. dc [3 dc]

 

Finish off. Weave in all ends. Pass leg without gap into the one with the gap. Twist as needed so it looks like a regular ribbon. Block. Starch if desired.

Very nice pattern. I like how you created it so you don't have to pin or sew the center. Great idea and thanks so much for sharing.

I'm going to try that pattern next maybe I'll make a ribbon in red to remind people not to drink and drive though does anyone know the color for that I would make one for myself.

Yay, this is great! I work at a domestic violence shelter. I'm going to to make purple "ribbons" of my co-workers for Christmas! I think I might make some extra to fundraise for the shelter too, if that is ok. Thanks so much for posting:cheer
