Easy Crochet Hairbow

As promised another super easy Hairbow this time for all the crocheters! Make these in every color. Great way to work on that scraps stash and have gifts on the ready! Or if you have a little girl of your own she will have a ton of hairbows to match everything she wears! In one of the Pictures you will see that The bow is on a rectangle. To make this one follow the instructions for the bow. But for one bow finish the instructions all the way thru and the other one crochet all the way to the end of pattern but don't do the finish then just sew the bow on the rectangle. I used worsted weight yarn but these can be made with any yarn just adjust a little on the beginning chain and how many rows you do.
Please don't sell items made with this pattern or the pattern itself. You are welcome to post a link back to my blog. I want to continue to post free patterns for everyone I just ask that you don't make a profit on my patterns.

I used WW yarn and H hook Guage is not important.

1. CH 12 HDC in Second CH from hook and each across
2. CH 2 HDC in each stitch across
3. Reapeat Row 2 for 3 more rows
4. Fasten off and weave in ends

Note: you can do a round of SC if you'd like for a more finished look.
Now fold rectangle as you would a paper fan and with a strand of yarn about 12" long wrap several time thru the middle of "fan" and secure with a knot (when I do it I start by "sewing" thru the fan first then start wrapping that way it never falls apart) weave in your end and slip an alligator clip thru the back and your done!

Uses: you can use this alone just as a hairbow in little girls hair. Or use it as an applique on a Hat, headband even scrapbooking!
Please leave your comments and I'd love to see your creations!

Easy Knit Hairbow Pattern

I Have a ton of scrap yarn left from other projects. I sat there and looked at it and wondered what could I do with all this scrap. And of course a lot of little project came to mind well this is the first of many scrap projects. HAIRBOWS I have a daughter as you may already know. Well I thought I could just make her a ton of Hairbows to match just about anything that she has to wear. I will also post instructions for a crocheted version. So here goes!
Please do not post instructions to this project without first speaking to me. You may post a link back to my blog if you'd like. Please do not sell items made by my patterns. Thank you.

Knit Bow final measurement will be 21/2" x 3"
1) CO 17 and work in Garter (knit every row) for 4 rows
2) P 1, K 15, P1 Turn
3) P 17 Turn
4) Repeat rows 2 and 3 for 10 more rows
5) K 4 rows and BO
Weave in ends.
Fold a you would a paper fan and with a strand of matching (or non Matching) Yarn about 12" wrap around the middle several times to secure it at tie a knot and weave in the end. Then fan out and shape your bow and slip an alligator clip thru the bottom of your bow where you wrapped the strand of yarn. I don't do anything to keep the alligator clip permanently there so that I can use the same alligator clip on all of my bows.



And that's it your done! You can easily make this bow bigger by adding Cast on stitches and more rows. You can also get creative and sew buttons or beads to your bow. Well I hope you liked this short super easy project I look forward to hearing your comments!
