Materials:

• Yarn, in the colors of your choice
• Small crochet hook (anything smaller than a 6.5 sized hook should be fine)

Instructions:

1. For a smaller bow, chain 11. For a larger bow, chain 16.
    
2. Single crochet in second stitch from hook, and in each stitch following until the end (10, 15 single crochets). Turn.
    
3. Chain 1, single crochet in second stitch from hook and in each stitch following. Turn.
    
4. Repeat step three 4 more times, or more if you want a larger bow.
    
5. To assemble, fold bow in half hot dog wise and wrap yarn around the middle of the bow. Tie off to secure.
    
6. If you want to wear the bow in your hair, just wiggle a hair clip through the back of the wrapped part of the bow. I don’t glue mine to the barrette, but you can if you want. I like to switch out my bows to match my outfit, and using a strong barrette like this works great for my thick hair.
   
   
    
7. If you want to make a headband, create three chains of 70 stitches each, or larger to fit your head. Simply sew the bow in place and you’re ready to go!
