Make one or several hair bows and give them as holiday gifts.
With only the most basic crochet skills you can make a hair bow to match every outfit you own. Make a hair bow using yarn and then attach it to a barrette, a hair elastic or a headband so it can become your favorite new hair accessory. You will need beginning crochet skills in order to make a crochet head bow.
Instructions
1. Make 11 chain stitches using worsted weight yarn and a size U.S. H crochet hook.
2. Make a single crochet stitch in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. Make one chain and turn.
3. Make a single crochet stitch in the top of every stitch across. Make one chain and turn. Repeat this step a total of eight more times.
4. Cut the working yarn with scissors, leaving a 4-inch tail. Use this tail to yarn over one last time and pull it through the loop on the hook to secure it. Set this piece aside for a moment.
5. Make three chain stitches using worsted weight yarn and a size U.S. H crochet hook.
6. Make a single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in the following chain. Make one chain and turn.
7. Make a single crochet in both stitches of this row; make one chain and turn. Repeat this step a total of eight more times. Fasten off as with the first piece.
8. Take the larger piece of crochet and pinch it in the center to make the basic shape of a bow. Wrap the second piece around this pinched section to make the center of the bow.
9. Thread the yarn tail from the narrow piece onto an embroidery needle. Use it to make a few stitches in the back of the bow to secure the shape of the bow and keep the narrow center band in place.
10. Use the embroidery needle to weave in any loose yarn tails on the back side of the bow to hide them.
