SMALL BOW:

The small bow is my “go to” bow. It works great on a hat, bonnet, nylon or a crochet headband. I also use this size for most ombrés, princess bows, ribbon, lace and burlap bows.

• 13 grams/0.5 ounces

BABY BOW:

The Baby Bow is a great size for new babes-12 months!

• Chain 25

• Crochet 9 rounds of HDC BLO.
• I do not chain one before going into the first stitch.
• Slip stitch into last stitch to finish.
• Sew in ends.
• Tie together and add to desired headband, clip, hat, bonnet or dress!_______________

MICRO BOW:

The micro bow works great on clips or ponytail holders!

• Chain 22
• Join last stitch with first stitch using a slip stitch.
• HDC, BLO 7 rounds.
• I do not chain one before going into the first stitch.
• Slip stitch into last stitch to finish.

Medium & Large Bows:

Chain 35 for medium, 13 rounds of HDC, BLO

Chain 40 for large, 14 rounds of HDC, BLO

• Large is best to attach to a crochet band vs. nylon, clip or elastic because of the weight of the bow.
