With this crochet pattern, you can make yourself perfect bows in different styles and sizes.

Sizes and Styles
In the pattern, you will find instructions for bows in 3 sizes. You can choose to make a neat bow with ribbing or a somewhat lacy, open styled bow. You can also choose whether or not to add tails to your bow.

Multipurpose decorations & applications
These multipurpose bows can be used in many ways. They are pretty ornaments for your Christmas tree or cute gift toppers. In pastels, such as lilac and mint green, they are a perfect addition to Easter branches as well. And without the hanging loop, you can use them as applications and sew them to various things such as hats, headbands and hair elastics. The possibilities are endless!

Skill level
Easy: you only need the basic stitches for this pattern.

Yarn
I used leftover fine yarn for these ornaments. I like to use cotton yarns by Schachenmayr Catania or Scheepjes Catona and also used Phildar Myriade glitter yarn, but you can use any fine yarn.

Free Gift Labels
If you are planning on making them as gifts, Home of Yarns also has a gift for you! You get free printable gift labels and wraps to make your gift look even more awesome.

Languages
This pattern is available in 4 languages: UK English, USA English, German (Deutsch) and Dutch (Nederlands)!

Color blind friendly
I made an effort to make all of the Home of Yarns patterns color blind friendly, with dark text on a white background and if a chart is included, it is always in addition to written out instructions. For the charts, I use symbols in either black and white or other highly contrasting color combinations. I am quite positive that I did a good job, but I am no expert on color blindness. If you need any assistance reading the pattern, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me and I will be happy to help you out.

Accessibility
I am also interested in making my patterns accessible for more people, for example, for users of screen readers. If you are interested in a special version of this pattern, so that it meets your specific needs, please feel free to contact me. Tell me all about what would work for you and I will try my best to make the pattern accessible to you. I would love to learn from you and make Home of Yarns more inclusive.
