About this pattern

A pink awareness ribbon, the looped ribbon worn for breast cancer awareness: one strip folded into a loop with a round top and crossed once, with two tails that end level. The ribbon is light pink; the tail of the strand that passes behind, at the lower left, is a deeper pink. It has no outline and nothing is written on it. For another cause, stitch it in a light and a deeper shade of that cause's color. Full crosses only. It is 16 by 35 stitches and uses two thread colors.

16 stitches wide by 35 high: 278 full cross stitches in 2 DMC colors (Medium Melon 3706, Medium Salmon 3712).
