I wanted to crochet something to show my support for our country when going out to the stores and such. This is what I came up with, and I made some for my kids to wear at school too.

Materials

Red, white and royal blue cotton crochet thread

Safety pin

U.S. 1 MM:2.75 metal crochet hook

Directions:

Start with the red thread and ch:31, turn and sc in each ch, fasten off.

(*)Join the white thread and sc in each red ch across, ch 1 turn and sc across white, fasten off.

Join royal blue thread and repeat (*)

With white thread, Ch 50. You have a strand to make the bow.

Fold your red, white and blue strip in half and pull the white strand thru the center and tie a bow tightly. That will make the ends separate a little. Glue to hook side of the safety pin. Let dry, then wear with PRIDE !

My heart goes out to all who have lost loved ones. You are in my prayers.
