Bettie’s Ribbon

This ribbon is designed in honor of my Mother-in-Law, who is currently battling Breast Cancer. The pattern is free of charge. However, I’d like to ask you to please donate what you can to the Breast Cancer Society.

The pattern is quite, quite simple…not really a pattern even!

S/R 3p3p3/3p3p3 S/R 3j3p3/3j3p3 for as many repeats as you’d like.
The outside trim is node stitch - one set of 4/4, slide a bead on, lock join to a picot, repeat.

The leaves are node stitch, 10 sets of 4 per leaf, then tacked onto the ribbon where it crosses.

The flower is roll tatting - 5 large SCMR of 1 ds, then about 40 rolls, 1 ds, close. There are 4 small SCMR of 1 ds, about 20 rolls, 1ds, close.

I tacked the large petals open, and tacked the small petals folded to form a flower center - it’s very free-form, and open to individual interpretation.

The model was tatted in size 30 DMC Cebelia for the ribbon and flower, and the leaves are size 50 Flora.
