Round 4

Work 1 sc in each st around. Slip st to join round, fasten off, leaving a long enough tail to sew the bow, to tie up the center and to fasten off, I just eyeball it.

Attach the Bow

Sew the bow in place as follows:

• With a blunt needle, sew one edge of the bow in place.
• Slip the needle on the back of all the stitches across until you reach the middle of the bow.
• Wrap yarn around the middle of the bow, piercing through the crocheted fabric below to secure the bow completely.
• Then slip the needle through the back stitches until you reach the end of the bow, and attach it in place like you did at the beginning.
• Fasten off and weave in the tail.

You're done!
