Pattern Steps
Start with a Slip Knot
Begin your project by creating a slip knot on your crochet hook.
Chain 6
Crochet six chain stitches. This is denoted as Chain 6.
Form a Ring
Perform a slip stitch into the first chain stitch to form a ring.
Work for One Side
Chain 6 (Again)
Right after forming the ring, make another set of six chain stitches.
Six Double Treble Crochet
Proceed to make six double treble crochet stitches into the center of the ring. Remember, for a double treble, you need to wrap the yarn around the hook three times before making the stitch.
Complete a total of six double treble crochets.
Chain 6 (After Completing Double Trebles)
After completing the double trebles, make another six chain stitches.
Slip Stitch
Perform a slip stitch into the center of the ring to secure this side.
Work the Other Side
Chain 6
Just like before, start this side with six chain stitches.
Six Double Treble Crochet
Make another set of six double treble crochets into the ring's center.
Complete a total of six double treble crochets.
Chain 6 (Last Side)
Finish this segment with six chain stitches.
Slip Stitch in the Center
Secure your work with a slip stitch into the center of the ring.
Finishing
Secure the ending with a knot and leave a long tail of yarn.
Cut the yarn, but ensure you leave enough length for wrapping.
Construct the bow shape by taking the long yarn tail and wrapping it tightly around the center of your bow (which was formed by the work done on both sides of the initial ring).
Shape the bow neatly as you prefer, and after achieving the desired center tightness, secure the wrap with a knot on the back.
Trim any excess yarn after the final knot.
Final Touches
Adjust and fluff the sides of the bow to give it a nice, full appearance. Now, your crochet bow is ready to be used as an embellishment for hats, sweaters, headbands, or any baby items.
