This will be a simple little ribbon
in recognition of breast cancer awareness
using a size F crochet hook
3 ply yarn
working twenty five
foundation single crochet
you can make your ribbon longer if you would like
and use more stitches
if you are not comfortable
with the foundation single crochet
you can make a chain of twentysix
and then work twentyfive single crochet
in the chain
just keep working
until you have twentyfive foundation single crochet
this is what I have
you will have something similar if you use the chain
with the single crochet
make a chain one
work three single crochet
in the end
work one single crochet
in each of the next
twentythree single crochet
until you get to the other end
I am at the other end of the ribbon
work three single crochet
in the end
work one single crochet
in each stitch across
down the opposite side
join with the first single crochet
this is what I have
cut off several inches of yarn
pull the yarn through
I have threaded my tapestry needle
I am running it thorugh the stitches
up about one third of the way
through the ribbon
like this
fold the ribbon over, like this
insert the needle and secure through the center
once you have it secure
flip it over to the back side
make a couple of knots
hide the tail
cut off the yarn
this completes the ribbon
