Easy Square Stitched Awareness Ribbon Free Beading Pattern

The first two rows of the awareness ribbon worked in square stitch.

Jennifer VanBenschoten
To make this easy square stitched awareness ribbon, you will need the following materials and tools:

  • 5 grams of size 8 seed beads (I used pink for breast cancer awareness)
  • Beading thread: Nymo size D, Wildfire or FireLine in 10 lb. test
  • Pin finding
  • Size 12 beading needle
  • Chain nose pliers (optional)
  • Scissors or thread cutter
  • Glue of your choice (E6000 recommended)

To get started, on a comfortable length of beading thread (no longer than 5 feet), string a stop bead. Pick up 3 seed beads.

Work in square stitch to add a second row.
