It is so heartwarming to see people from around the globe come forward to send positive thoughts and energy virtually and digitally. As a small thank-you gesture, this is the pattern for the awareness ribbon.
When I made it earlier this month (without any direct pattern/reference), I thought I’d come across the body design on pinterest. After a lot of hunting, I finally found it this morning here and here - centre row of a vintage insertion from Priscilla!
One working diagram is included for transition to next row.
I think it's nice to personalise the ribbon.
TIP : In order to hide the colour blips in the tinted lavender, I used Ninetta’s blipless join, which is my go-to on the rare occasions I use such a join. However this time, I counted the join as a complete stitch and I truly like the effect! Can you tell the difference between stitch and join?
Will be using it more often now.
Techniques I used: frontside/backside tatting, folded chain (similar to folded rings), blipless join.
Both ribbons are worked with Red Rose pearl cotton size 8 (≡ 20).
This one-pass shuttle and ball pattern could work well as a straight edging or insertion. But for a bracelet or choker, some tweaking will be required if one wants to have beads on the joining picots. I hope to get around to it....
A slight modification of the butterfly I used on this heart. It has a Josephine ring for head and a lock chain wrapped around for body. All with one shuttle, with a length of thread left at beginning to tat the lock chain.
UPDATE : This pattern is adapted into a hairband - Positivity Hairband.

the
support a group provides is priceless !
Thank you for the pattern! So many lovely patterns you share!
ReplyDeleteAbout the blipless join, that is my join plus a 2nd half stitch, I've been counting that as one ds, but it's a matter of personal preference, I think.
Yes, Ninetta, that is how I did your blipless join earlier 😆 I'll try both on thicker thread to compare more closely. Glad you like the pattern 🌻🌼🌻
DeleteA useful pattern because there are many awareness ribbons. Just change the thread colour! Thanks.
