Honoring Survivors with a Handmade Touch: Pink Ribbon Crocheted Dishcloth

Breast cancer is a disease that has touched so many lives, including my own family. My mother is a 20-year survivor of breast cancer, and we are incredibly blessed to still have her with us today. Her strength, resilience, and unwavering spirit through her journey continue to inspire me every day.

Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, it is estimated that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. In 2024 alone, the American Cancer Society predicts that over 300,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in the United States. While survival rates have improved thanks to early detection and advancements in treatment, the fight is far from over. Raising awareness and supporting those affected by this disease is more important than ever.

One way we can show our support is through handmade projects that spread love, hope, and awareness. This Pink Ribbon Crocheted Dishcloth is a small but meaningful way to honor survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and support ongoing research and advocacy efforts. Whether you make one for yourself, gift it to a loved one, or create a set for a breast cancer fundraiser, this project is a heartfelt reminder of the strength and courage of those battling this disease.

Check out the free pattern below and join me in using our craft to make a difference. Every stitch is a symbol of hope, love, and support for those affected by breast cancer.

Let’s Make the Lowink Beginners Blanket TOGETHER

We’re kicking off June 1st (plenty of time to order your kit and hide it from your cat/kids/overzealous cleaning habits). Every Saturday, we’ll tackle a new chunk of the pattern together—with plenty of moral support for when your yarn does that weird loopy thing (you know the one).

Let’s Make the Let’s Make the Lowink Beginners Blanket

Here’s How This Works:

Week 1 (June 1-7):

  •  Procrastinator’s Shopping Spree
    “Wait, I need what size hook?!” – Check your kit (or raid your stash)
    “But what if I pick the wrong color?!” – Post your yarn options in the comments and let us vote!

Week 2 (June 8-14):

  •  The “Oh God, Why Is My Edge So Wobbly?” Phase
    I’ll go live on Instagram to demo how to fix the classic beginner blunders (and yes, we’ll laugh about it afterward).

Week 3 (June 15-21):

  •  Mid-CAL Crisis Support Group
    Hit a wall? Post a photo of your blanket-in-progress with your beverage of choice (wine counts as a “beverage”). Best “I Need More Coffee” face wins a surprise yarny gift!

Week 4 (June 22-30):

  •  Ta-Dah! Party
    Show off your finished blanket—even if one corner looks suspiciously trapezoid-shaped. We’re here for the vibes, not geometry.

Why You Should Join:

  •  No perfection allowed (This is a judge-free zone)
  •  Real-time help (I’ll be stalking the hashtag #LowinkCAL daily)
  •  Sneaky giveaways (Because who doesn’t love free hooks?)

Comment “I’m in!” below—and tell me:
Are you using the kit yarn or going rogue with your stash?
 What’s your crochet nemesis? (Mine is counting stitches after row 10…)

P.S. Tag that friend who “doesn’t have time” to learn crochet. We’ll change their minds!
