Easiest Little Bow · Free Crochet Pattern & Video Tutorial
Do you need a mini bow in your life? Why, yes you do!
This cute, little bow is quite possibly the easiest and quickest project to on my blog...ever. It takes less than 5 minutes to make one from start to finish, and that probably includes the time to grab your yarn and hook, too (if you're not indecisive like me, that is)!
Bows are such versatile components that can be added to so many projects. There's SO much you can do with this little bow!
You sew this bow on:
- Amigurumi dolls and animals
- Hair accessories (clips, ties, hairbands)
- Bags and pouches
- Greeting cards
- Wrapped gifts
- Blankets
- Cup cozies
- Clothing
- ...and more!
I decided to make my bow into a sweet, little headband for my baby girl. While big bows are hugely popular, I feel that tiny ones are also lovely! It has quite the dainty look, don't you think?
This pattern is...
- Beginner-friendly
- Quick to work up
- No-sew
- A versatile component
- Great for using up scrap yarns (AKA, an awesome "stashbuster"!)
