I am so excited to be sitting here writing my 500th post...wow! I wanted to celebrate my joy that I've experienced in authoring this blog by sharing a little "Thank You Pin" This is a quick and easy little project that you can make for a special someone. Make them in school colors for teachers, or in team colors to show team spirit...they also make a super cute applique for a cardigan or bag too!
Thank You Pins (or Appliques)
By Jennifer Dickerson
- 2 colors of yarn of your choice (yarn shown is Dream In Color and Knit Picks Capra)
- Recommended hook for your particular yarn (check the yarn label, I used an I hook)
- 1 Button
- Pin backing (found in the bead/jewelry aisle of the craft store) or a safety pin
- Tapestry/yarn needle
- Scissors
Instructions for Larger Circle:
Ch 4, join with a sl st to make a ring.
Round 1: ch 4 (counts as a dc), then work 11 dc into the center of the ring. Close circle with a sl st.
Round 2: ch 4 (counts as a dc). Work a dc into the first space. In the next space and in each space around the entire circle, work 2 dc. Close circle with a sl st and fasten off.
Instructions for Smaller Circle:
Ch 4, join with a sl st to make a ring.
Round 1: ch 4 (counts as a dc), then work 11 dc into the center of the ring. Close circle with a sl st and fasten off.
Finishing and Assembly:
Weave in all tails except one from the smaller circle. Stack everything together: larger circle on bottom, smaller circle in the middle, buton on top. Use the last remaining tail to sew everything together. Secure with a know and weave in reaminig tail.

Thank you.
