These little bows are perfect to add to lots of projects. Attach them to a hair clip (with hot glue) and you’ll have a quick seller at your craft fairs or a quick gift to make for a little one. I attached my bows to the gingerbread pattern that I made as a little bow tie. 🙂

The Yarn

For these bows, I used Vanna’s Choice by Lion Brand Yarn in Pink. You will not need much so if you have some scrap yarn to use up these would be PERFECT for them!

I also wanted to mention that you can use any weight of yarn or hook size for this pattern, but the finished bow size WILL vary if you do. Just mess around with it until you get what you are looking for.

Happy Crocheting!
