Stitch a Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon Pattern Today!

Breast cancer is the 2nd most common cancer among women in the United States. If you know someone who was affected by this disease, you can show your support for breast cancer awareness by stitching this free plastic canvas pattern.

The finished ribbons are approx. 4.5 inches tall x 2 inches wide. I made mine into a magnet for my refrigerator, but you can adapt it for other purposes. You could attach a suction cup and stick it to the inside of your car window. You could also hang the breast cancer awareness ribbon from your rearview mirror.

This pattern uses the slanted gobelin stitch so it is completed quickly. You can easily make a ribbon or two in an hour. It would be a great project for beginners.
