Mignon CrochetAlienor – Breast Cancer Awareness

This new project concerns awareness-raising in the fight against breast cancer.

As you know, the Pink Ribbon is today the global symbol of breast cancer awareness month, but our awareness actions should not be limited to one month a year.

It is with this kept in mind that I wanted to create this pattern so that all year long we are attentive.

With early care it is 99% chance of recovery at 5 years !!

Talk to your doctor, be followed and above all take care of yourself!

I chose this name while thinking of Alienor of Aquitaine for two reasons:

because Aquitaine is the region where the Bergonié Institute is located, this hospital saved my mum’s and my cousine’s life.
and especially because Alienor of Aquitaine did nothing by half, it was a woman with an exceptional destiny that marked the history of the Middle Ages, she was a rebellious, strong woman, the Insubmissive of Aquitaine. She lived until her 80s. She had ten children and two kings as husbands. An iron health and a sacred appetite: for politics, for art, for life!

For me, this emblematic figure represents formidably the strong and beautiful women who are fighting against this cancer!

You are all Aliénor, You all are warriors!

(63 sc, 3 ch-1 spaces)

Fasten off, weave in ends.

Ties:

Using D and 3.5mm hook, make a foundation chain of ch21.

Row 1: starting in 2^nd ch from hook, slst across, slst on ch-1space corner “A”, slst across the side to next ch-1 space “B”, then ch 21, turn, starting in 2^nd ch from hook, slst 20.

Fasten off weave in ends.

Skirt:

Turning chains, ch 1 or 2, don’t count as st, unless otherwise stated.
Tulip: work [sc 1, (ch 10, sc 1) x 3] in next st.
Catch loop: catch ch-10 loop of Tulip by inserting your hook under chain at tip of loop at the same time as under the next stitch.
Note: Hold loops of Tulip down at front of work on RS.

Using C and 3.5mm hook, make a foundation chain of ch62.

Row 1 (WS): Starting in 2^nd ch from hook, sc 5, Tulip, (sc 9, Tulip) x5, sc 5, join with a slst on 1^st sc. Change color to D. (55 sc, 6 Tulip)
Row 2 (RS): ch 1, turn, sc 5, (skip 1 st, sc2tog, skip 1 st, sc 9) x 5, sc 5, join with a slst on 1^st sc. (61 sc)
Row 3 (WS): ch 1, turn, sc across, join with a slst on 1^st sc. (61)

Row 5: ch 1, turn, sc across, join with a slst on 1^st sc.

Next row is worked using color D, but you’ll use color E to work 6 dc into 1 st and catch 3^rd loop from Tulip (written: [dc 6 + catching 3^rd loop] ). So I recommend you to carry yarn E across the row, then fasten off at the end of the row.

Row 6: ch 1, turn, sc 5, ([dc 6 + catching 3^rd loop], sc 9) x 5, [dc 6 + catching 3^rd loop], sc 5, join with a slst on 1^st sc. (55 sc, 6 [dc 6 + catching 3^rd loop])

Row 14: ch 1, turn, sc 20, dec 1, join with a slst on 1^st sc. (21)
Row 15: ch 3 (counts as hdc + ch1), skip 1 st, (hdc 1, ch 1, skip 1 st) x 10. Join on 2^nd ch from ch-3. (11 hdc, 10 ch-1 spaces)
Row 16: ch 1, turn, sc across, join with a slst on 1^st sc. (21)

Fasten off, weave in ends.

Leotard:

Dtr and tr are made in front of the work, in the stitch that is 2 rows below.

Row 4: ch 3 (counts as dc), turn, dc 2, ch 1, skip 1 st, (dc 3, ch 1, skip 1 st) x 6, join with a slst on top of ch-3. (21 dc, 7 ch-1)
Row 5: ch 3 (counts as dc), turn, dtr 1, dc 1, ch 1, skip 1 st, (dc 1, dtr 1, dc 1, ch 1 , skip 1 st) x 6, join with a slst on top of ch-3. (14 dc, 7 dtr, 7 ch-1)
Row 6: ch 4 (counts as dc + ch 1), turn, skip 1 st, (dc 3, ch 1, skip 1) x 6, dc 2, join with a slst on 3rd ch from ch-4. (21 dc, 7 ch-1)

Fasten Off, weave in ends.

Join E yarn, on RS and on the marked st, with sc and repeat Rows 8 to 13.

Row 14: ch 1, turn, holding the 2 panels together (put 2 rows 13 together) and going through inner loops, slst across to join. (4)

Fasten off, weave in ends.

Top front panel:

Using C,

Row 1 (RS): flatten the leotard and with front facing you, count 5 sts from the right side and join with a standing sc on the 6^th st and make sc 4. (5)
Rows 2 (WS) – 4: ch 1, turn, sc 5. (5)
Row 5: ch 1, turn, sc2tog, sc 1, sc2tog. (3) – DO NO TURN
Round 6: slst along rows ends, then slst on the reverse side of the foundation chain (from leotard part), slst along rows ends, slst across row 5.

Fasten off, weave in ends.

Suspenders:

On the back of the leotard, place a marker on the loop (the loop is in D color) from the side of the slst that is in the middle.

First and last ch made will be the buttonholes.

Using C and 3.5mm hook, make ch 13, slst on the marked loop, ch 13.

Fasten off, weave in ends.

Sew buttons on the front panel. Attach the suspenders to the buttons (chains are used as buttonholes)

Use the ribbon as a belt on the skirt.
Add blush, face details if you want.

Progress is constant. Every day, researchers get involved in the fight against breast cancer.
The fight against breast cancer also requires progress in cancer screening. These advances concern imaging and also genetic screening tests for breast cancer.
