Awareness Ribbon Square 8" or 12"

Awareness Ribbon 8”or 12” square

 

 

 

Original Pattern by Carolyn VanOstran

 

 

I made this pattern when I was looking for a square to make for a comfortghan and couldn’t find what I was looking for. You may use this pattern as much as you like, but please don’t sell the pattern.

 

 

Skill Level—Intermediate

 

Hook size—H/8—5.0mm

 

Gauge -- 7 dc and 4 rows = 2" x 2"

Yarn—Size 4 – worsted weight, like RH SuperSaver

 

Stitches Used:

DC—Yo, insert hook into stitch indicated and pull up a loop, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook, yo and draw through 2 loops again.

 

Fpdc—Yo, insert hook from front to back to front again around post of st indicated, yo, draw through 2 loops on hook, yo and draw through 2 loops again.

 

Fptr—Yo 2 times, insert hook from front to back to front again around post of st indicated, yo, draw through 2 loops on hook, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook, yo and draw through 2 loops again.

 

 

NOTES: Occasionally stitches get lost under corner stitches and the fpdc and fptr. You

will need to push those stitches aside in order to get to that stitch.

**Rounds 7 & 11 ea have an extra dc on one side of the corner, this is not a typo.

 

Pattern:

 

Ch 4, join with sl st to form a ring.

 

Rnd 1: Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, (3 dc, ch 2) three more times in center of ring, join with sl st to top of ch 3. (12dc, 4 ch-2 sps)

 

Rnd 2: Ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in ch-2 sp, *dc in next 3 dc, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in ch-2 sp, rep from * 3 times, join with sl st to top of ch 3. (28 dc, 4 ch-2 sps)

(84 dc, 8 fpdc, 4 ch-2 sps)

 

Rnd 7: ***(8” square option): Ch 3, dc in next dc, fpdc around both fpdc from previous rnd. (this closes the top of the ribbon), dc in next 10 dc, (3dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in next ch-2 sp,*dc in next 11 dc, fpdc around both fpdc from previous rnd, dc in next 10 dc, (3dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in next ch-2 sp, rep from * three times, dc in next 9 dc, join with sl st to top of ch 3.

That is a super looking square which I am sure will be put to great causes!

Thank you for sharing your talent:)

This is a really pretty square. I think I will make it into a dishcloth for a breast cancer survivor I am friends with in another crafting group. Thanks for sharing!!

[aspensnana]

Thank you so very much for the pattern..after I make one I will post a photo.

This is gorgeous I have been looking for ribbon patterns. Our Relay for

Life team does fundraisers and sometimes crafters donate something to be raffled off. I found a couple patterns on line but they were all either written wierd or were in pdf's that would not open. Thanks for sharing. NiYa

[teakaycee]

for sharing your pattern. my mind is racing with ideas and folks to make them for!

 

[Schmetterling]

Wow, that is outstanding! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Ok I tried it out :hookalthough I used sport weight yarn so mine is only 6.5 inches square but here it is. I had difficulty in round 4 because I did not put the second fptr in the rigt place I kept looking at it and thinking that it looked funny.It was not until I got to the end of the row and looked at everything together that I realized that when you said same side you meant the last fpdc from the previous row. I had put both of them around the same stitch oops The ribbons did not show up very well with the flash on I took one withut the flash..

It looks great. I wondered in Rnd 4 might be a problem since you have to go back to the previous rnd to pick up that stitch. Although the directions look complicated, it really is a fairly easy pattern to make.

A dishcloth is a great idea!!!

[Lisaizme]

That is so cool. The little ribbons look like little fish too... Love it.

Carolyn, thank you so much for sharing this! It is perfect! Would you be able to measure a gauge for me. There are lots of really pretty 12" square patterns on CPC but most of them only list a hook size and no gauge. I tended to need to go up 2-3 hook sizes, but didn't realize that until I was almost finished. So sweet of you to share your awesome design with us, and for FREE no less!

My gauge is 7dc and 4 rows = 2" x 2"

I'll add it to the pattern too.
