Materials Needed

Crocheting the Bow
Step 1: Start Your Chain
- Chain 4 or more, depending on the desired thickness of your bow.
Add an additional 3 chains to serve as the turning chain.

To make a single crochet:
- Yarn over once.
- Insert your hook into the fifth chain.
- Yarn over and pull through the loop on your hook.
- Yarn over again and pull through the last two loops on your hook.
For Step 3: Continue Single Crochets
- Repeat the single crochet process in every chain from the foundation part.
- After completing a row, flip your work and chain 4 for the turning chain.
- Skip the first stitch, start single crocheting into the next stitch, and continue down the row.
- Ensure consistent single crochet count in each row.
Step 4: Complete the Rows
Continue crocheting rows until you reach the desired length (for reference, around 35 rows).
Finishing the Bow
Step 1: Prepare the Bow
- Once at the desired length, lay out your work in the shape of a bow to see where the ends will fall.
- Tie off your work.
- Match up the ends and find the center of your bow.
- Flatten the bow, ensuring the ends line up correctly.
Step 2: Finalize the Bow
- Tie a knot around the center of the bow.
- Remove the bow from whatever it was laying on and flip it over.
- Fluff up both the center part and the loops of the bow.
