My husband's first reaction to my hair bows...
"Why did you crochet a bone for your hair?"
Oh boys...when will you learn!
Crocheted Bow (or Bone) Pattern
Materials:
Any kind of yarn
J hook (because that's my favorite one...)
Instructions:
First Row: Ch 10, turn and dc into 2nd ch from hook, dc into remaining ch stitches to the end of the row. Turn
Second Row: Ch 2, hdc across the whole row. Turn
Third Row: Ch 2, hdc across the whole row.
Finishing: sl st around the entire perimeter of the bow. This will give it a rounded "finished look"
Bow Center: Chain 6, hdc into 2nd ch from hook. Continue to hdc into the remaining stitches. Finish with a sl st
Putting it together: Stitch together (or hot glue...because I have no patience) and finish with an alligator clip
Husbands! your bow is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLol. You and I had basically the same idea at the same time. I posted my tute and pattern (after working on it ALL DAY Monday) VERY earrly Tuesday morning. Yours is slightly rounder then mine. Super cute and GREAT idea! ;)

haha! I hate when that happens :) Yours turned out super cute!! I like that it's a little more straight edged. You should check out this super sweet crocheting blog that I just found. She has instructions for a huge bow that I made yesterday. I'm planning on posting it on my blog sometime this week. Check it out!
