I don't think it was ever officially mentioned that she got it from Kisaragi but let's just say...Mutuski's hair is short can't have ribbon(?) lol. Or maybe because if it's a memento it makes more sense if the memento is from someone you lost a long time ago (in this case 1 year)? I'll take a more serious thinking then:

In another way of thinking, "why isn't it Mutsuki's ribbon?"...let's look at Yayoi's state of mind?

Kisaragi was lost very early (Dec 11, 1941) almost right after the Attack on Pearl Harbor (Dec 7). At that point JP morale's is still high, but every death (sunk) hurts more because dying means she will certainly not survive the war. And I guess it's safe to say that early on, some of them probably thinks "we might all survive this war". This is probably why Kisaragi's death sticks more.

[Putting all other battles aside, also Battle of Coral Sea] Then Midway happened, which is pretty much what everyone called the turning point due to IJN's severe lost. Then after that it's a downward sprial.

So now we come back to Yayoi of 1942. Mutsuki sinking only a few weeks before her probably won't affect her much anymore because her mind is saying "we might not survive this war".

And why she mention Mutsuki instead of Kisaragi is because...the lost was more recently?...I don't know I'm getting tired of thinking lol.
