SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate
This bow is knit using a double knitting technique, a chain edge cast on, knit decreases, and an i-cord.  

DIMENSIONS:
This knitting pattern will first create a ribbon that is approximately 18” long and 1.75” wide.  
The ribbon will then form a bow that is approx 4.5” wide and 5” long.

MATERIALS:
20 grams / approx 44 yards Originally Lovely Cria Yarn (samples shown in Prom, Vino and Lipstick)
Size 4 (3.5mm) circular knitting needles, at least 29” long
Size 4 double pointed needles (optional, to work icord)
3.0 mm crochet hook (for chain edge cast on)
Blocking pins and foam blocking mat (optional, but recommended)
Hair clip (to attach bow)
Hot Glue Gun (optional, but recommended for the most secure placement)
Tapestry Needle to weave in ends

GAUGE:
33 sts = 4” in double knitting on size 4 needles. 
Notes on gauge:  Double knitting is done by working two layers simultaneously. Because of this, you need to include the stitches shown on both the right side and wrong side of your work in your gauge count. For example, 33 stitches over 4” will appear to be 16.5” over 4” when viewed from just one side of the work.
Because of the small scale of this pattern, row gauge is not significant.  Focus on stitch gauge to create a ribbon that is the proper length to shape your bow.
