Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Creating the Bow Base
- Start with a slip knot on your hook.
- Chain 63 + 1 (for a total of 64 chains). This will create the base length for the bow.
- Work Row 1:
- Starting from the second chain from the hook, make 6 half double crochets.
- Follow this with 6 slip stitches.
- Next, make 16 half double crochets, then 6 slip stitches, and 16 half double crochets again.
- Finish the row with 6 slip stitches and 6 half double crochets.
2. Working Row 2
- Chain 1 and turn your work.
- Repeat the pattern from Row 1, but this time, make all the stitches in the back loops only. This creates texture and definition in the bow design.
- 6 half double crochets (back loop only).
- 6 slip stitches (back loop only).
- 16 half double crochets (back loop only).
- 6 slip stitches (back loop only).
- 16 half double crochets (back loop only).
- End with 6 slip stitches and 6 half double crochets (back loop only).
3. Rows 3–5
- Repeat the steps in Row 2 for Rows 3, 4, and 5, always working into the back loops to maintain the texture.
4. Finishing the Bow Base
- After completing 5 rows, cut the yarn and tighten the last stitch.
- Use the darning needle to weave the loose yarn ends neatly into the work.
5. Shaping the Bow
- Identify the midpoint of the bow base (where the 6 slip stitches segment lies in the middle).
- Fold the bow base in half, ensuring symmetry.
- Take an extra piece of yarn and tightly wrap it around the center of the bow several times to secure the shape. Tie a knot at the back.
6. Attaching the Clip
- Remove the clip from its base (if using a repurposed clip).
- Apply glue (super glue or glue gun) to the back of the bow where the yarn has been tied.
- Press the clip onto the glued area. Ensure it is secure and allow time for the glue to dry completely.
Tutor’s Suggestions
- Use Stitch Markers: To avoid confusion during the repetitive pattern, especially to track where slip stitches and half double crochets end.
- Count Your Stitches: Always count the number of stitches to ensure each row matches the pattern.
- Use a glue gun or super glue for a stronger bond when attaching the clip.
- Work tightly in the center when shaping the bow to create a well-defined tie.

When wrapping the center of the bow with extra yarn, make sure to pull tightly and evenly to achieve a neat and polished look. This step is crucial for giving your bow its signature shape.
