- Create a slip knot on your hook.
- Chain to the length equal to the desired length of the bow’s ribbon. Secure the end and cut, leaving a tail.
Creating the Cherry:
Magic Ring:
- Wrap yarn over your finger to create a loop and an X shape, insert the hook under both loops, yarn over (pull loop through), then yarn over again and pull through to complete the magic ring.
- In the ring, do 6 single crochets (sc). Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch.
Row 1:
- Work 6 sc increase (2 sc in each stitch) around. Close with a slip stitch and chain 1.
Row 2:
- Pattern: (1 sc, 1 sc increase) around six times. Close with a slip stitch and chain 1.
For Row 3:
- Attach the green yarn chain (stem) through the center of the cherry. Secure with a knot and trim any excess yarn.
Row 4:
- 18 sc around. This forms the cherry's body. Close with a slip stitch and chain 1.
Row 5:
- Repeat Row 4.
In Row 6:
- Pattern: (1 sc, then 1 sc decrease) six times around. Close with a slip stitch and chain 1.
Filling and Closing:
