I'd love to see a picture of it!<br /><br />I don't have much experience with graph crochet (too many single crochets for my hands). I have heard other people say that they prefer doing graphs in hdc because it makes each square a little more square. <br /><br />If you're counting 1 block for 1 stitch then dc is going toMichele Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03153101731442615061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153604143973425578.post-75826392644895461252012-01-30T03:48:14.064-08:002012-01-30T03:48:14.064-08:00I took the pattern for the ribbon, copied it onto ...I took the pattern for the ribbon, copied it onto graph paper, turned it 90*, and made it into a scarf instead. I used a series of SC stitches for both the ribbon and background. Next time, I would do HDC or DC instead, as it was a little squished.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18064199829549186454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153604143973425578.post-34351578254174616512012-01-23T04:30:13.200-08:002012-01-23T04:30:13.200-08:00I'm so glad to hear that your shawl came out b...I'm so glad to hear that your shawl came out beautiful!<br /><br />There's a long list of what colors correspond to different illnesses. <br /><br />Thank you both.Michele Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03153101731442615061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153604143973425578.post-4417825263522762472012-01-22T12:54:12.337-08:002012-01-22T12:54:12.337-08:00I have since found that planety of patterns call f...I have since found that planety of patterns call for a chain 2 (in place of a chain 3) for a double crochet. I did make the pattern, using Caron's Simply Soft and a "J" hook and only got 3 ribbons due to the size difference. My shawl is gorgeous.

While I currently have no one in my life with Breast Cancer, there are other situations with friends and family where a particular ribbon color demonstrates support. I better get busy! I have quite a few to make and will definately give all the credit to you for dreaming up this amazing pattern.

I think it's a good think to ask your questions before starting any pattern.<br /><br />Math: While each block contains 4 sts you only count 3 of them because the 1st/last stitch is shared by each block. There's an excellent TUT with videos here http://www.hassdesign.com/BasicFiletTechniques/<br /><br />So, the math is:<br />24 blocks x 3 = 72<br /Michele Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03153101731442615061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153604143973425578.post-5024483028881876252011-10-15T15:45:48.379-07:002011-10-15T15:45:48.379-07:00Another comment, a chain 3 at the beginning of a r...Another comment, a chain 3 at the beginning of a row is normally a substitue for a dc, so wouldn't an edc be a chain 4?

Start is to ch 76, but at the end of the first row you are to have 24 solid blocks and a block is made up of 4 edc (4 X 24 is 96) I think you should chain 96 at the beginning, not 76.
