Crochet Pattern

Crochet 62 chains.

Row 1

Do a single crochet in the first chain.

Middle Part (Tie for the Ribbon Bow)

Start with 10 chains.

Row 1

Make 1 chain and do 10 slip stitches.

Assembling the Ribbon Bow

Hide the leftover yarn from the ribbon part. Alternatively, use the remaining yarn to sew the middle part to the ribbon.

Roll the ribbon part tightly to form the shape of the bow.

Secure the shape with the yarn.

Sew on the long strip (middle part) around the center of the rolled ribbon to complete the bow.

Finishing

• Trim any excess yarn after securely weaving in the ends.
• Fluff and adjust your bow to give it the final shape.

Additional Tips

• Make sure to keep your tension consistent for a neat finish.
• Use a contrasting color for the middle part for an interesting look.

This bow can be used as a hair tie by attaching it to an elastic band, or it can be sewn onto headbands, clothing, or used in jewelry.
