Notes

This bow has 3 main parts.

The bow and the tail are made in stripes using single crochet in front and back loops. Finally, a beautiful scallop border in contrasting color is added to give it a cute finished look.

The centerpiece is also made with a contrasting color. This hair bow has an interesting part with beautiful embroidery details.

Follow the pattern instruction below to make a bow and tail.

Repeat row 2 until you achieve the desired length for both parts.

Bow Part

I crocheted 40 rows total for the bow part, length was 11” long. It was a little bit longer than the tail part. Bow length after folding in half is 5.5”.

For the tail part, I crocheted 38 rows. You can adjust the length of these two stripes (bow and tails) as you wish.
