Crochet Mohair Bow
Materials Needed:
- Mohair yarn (Drops Kid-Silk or similar thin mohair yarn; 25g is approximately 210m)
- 5 mm crochet hook
- Stitch markers
Bow Base (Make 2 of these):
Start with a slip knot and chain 72 stitches (for a smaller bow or if using a larger hook, make the chain shorter).
- Skip the first two chains and work a double crochet two together (dc2tog) in the third chain.
- Double crochet in each chain until two stitches remain at the end of the row.
- Work a dc2tog in the last two stitches.
- Place stitch markers in the first and last stitch if you have trouble seeing your stitches.
- For row 2, chain 2 (this doesn't count as a stitch), start with a dc2tog, then double crochet across until two stitches remain, and finish with a dc2tog, leaving you with 66 stitches.
- Repeat the decrease process for two more rows, reducing two stitches per row. At the end of row four, you should have 62 stitches.
- Fasten off your yarn.
- Repeat the process to make a second base.
Joining the Bases:
- Align the two bases together, matching up the stitches from each row.
- Use stitch markers to join the bases together (especially at the corners).
- Slip stitch around the edge of the base, working through both layers to join them.
- Work two slip stitches per row on the slanted edge, two slip stitches in the corner, one slip stitch per stitch on the straight edge, and repeat for the opposite side.
Folding the Bow:
- Fold the base in half and then in half again.
- Adjust to position the tails or loops as desired, and use stitch markers to keep in place.
- Sew from one stitch marker to the other to create a big loop in the center and two tails.
- Align the center of the big loop with the sewn line and tie it securely with a piece of yarn.
Crocheting the Center:
- Chain 4, then chain 2 and double crochet across the previous chain (5 stitches).
- Continue to repeat, making 4 double crochets, then chain 2, turning your work, and repeating until the center is long enough to wrap around the bow.
- Wrap the center piece around the bow and tie or sew it in place.
- Adjust the tails and loops until you're happy with the look.
Finishing:
- With the center wrapped and tied, your bow is now complete.
- You can attach a hair clip, ornament hook, or any other accessory depending on how you want to use the bow.
