Crochet Bow Tutorial

Materials Needed:

Yarn
3.25 mm crochet hook

Instructions:

Start Your Project:

Begin by making a slip knot and chain 8. (Choose an even number for your project size - it could be 6, 8, 10, etc., but make sure it’s suitable for the bow size you desire.)

In Row 1 (Double Crochet Row):

Yarn over, insert your crochet hook under the two loops of the second chain from the hook.
Yarn over and pull through (three loops on the hook now).
Yarn over again and pull through two of the loops on your hook (two loops left).
Yarn over one last time and pull through the remaining two loops.
This completes one double crochet stitch.
Continue with double crochet stitches all the way across this row.

Row 2 (Pattern Establishing Row):

Turn your work and chain 2 for height.
Start with two double crochets in the first stitch.
Chain one, skip the next stitch, and do two double crochets in the following stitch.
Repeat this pattern across the row: two double crochets, chain one, skip one.
You should end up with sections of two double crochets separated by a chain space across the row.

Row 3 (Solid Double Crochet Row):

Turn your work and start this row by chaining 2 for height.
Do one double crochet in each stitch across, including the chain spaces from the previous row.
You continue with a full row of double crochets, maintaining the total stitch count at eight.

Subsequent Rows:

Repeat Rows 2 and 3 for the pattern, to create a textured fabric. Continue until you reach the desired length for your bow. The video mentions continuing the pattern until the piece measures approximately 34 inches without stretching it, for a medium-sized bow.

Finishing the Bow:

Once you've reached the desired length, cut your yarn, leaving a tail long enough for finishing.
Wrap the crocheted strip into a bow shape. Do this by folding the strip into an 'S' shape, then pulling one end through the center loop loosely.
Adjust the loops and tails until you're happy with the bow shape.
Secure the center by wrapping the remaining tail around it or sewing it in place, depending on your preference.
