Use this easy crochet bow pattern to add a little something extra to your crochet projects. You can take a look at these bows on the gingerbread ornament pattern if you’d like to see them used on a pattern.
These little crocheted bows are perfect to add to a good deal of other crochet projects, too. 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. You can also use them as little appliques on blankets, hats and more! As I mentioned before, I attached this bow design to the gingerbread pattern that I made as a little bow tie.

The Yarn That’s Perfect for This Bow
For these bows, I used Vanna’s Choice by Lion Brand Yarn in Pink. It is a four weight yarn that is easy to find and is available in a variety of colors. You will not need much, so if you have some scrap yarn to use up that is leftover from other patterns, then those would be PERFECT for them!
I also wanted to mention that you can use any weight of yarn or crochet 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. The best bet is to follow along with the recommended hook size for the yarn you want to use.

Happy Crocheting!
