Pattern Description from MarnieMacLean.com: “There are many worthy causes for which to wear a ribbon, but there’s no reason to be boring about it. This simple pattern can be worked up in a couple hours and would suit a funky and casual outfit or more dressy occasion. The piece will work best if the choker is snug enough to prevent the ribbon from sagging, so either measure carefully or make sure to follow the instructions for making it multi-sized.”
