Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Materials Needed

• Yarn: Approximately 300 meters per 50g (lightweight yarn is recommended).
• Hook: 2 mm crochet hook.
• Extras: Pair of scissors, a scrunchie (for assembly), a sewing needle, and thread.

2. First Bow Piece (Base Layer with a Tail)

1. Creating a Center Ring:
   • Chain 3 and form a ring.
   • Work 3 double crochets into the center ring.
2. Row Increases for the Bow Tail:
   • Row 1: Chain 3, turn the work, and add 2 double crochets into the same stitch. Work double crochets into each stitch from the previous row, increasing 2 double crochets at the start and end of the row.
   • Row 2 Onwards: Continue extending the tail while following the same increase method until the bow tail reaches 6 cm in width and 8 cm in length.
3. Straight Rows:
   • Once the desired size is reached, crochet straight rows (without increases) until the bow tail is fully formed.
4. Decreasing the Bow Tail:
   • Reduce the edges of the bow tail by making 2 double crochet stitches together at the start and end of each row. Continue until only 3 stitches remain on each side.
   • Knot and cut the thread to finish the tail square.

3. Second Bow Piece (Top Layer of the Bow)

1. Chain 35 (or adjust based on measurements from the first piece).
2. Work back and forth using alternating rows similar to the first bow piece but without creating tails. This layer should mirror the number of chains and spaces as the first piece.
3. Continue the pattern until the second piece is the desired size.
4. Slip-stitch the edges together to form a smooth bow finish.

4. Third Piece (Bow’s Center Band)

1. Chain Foundation: Chain 9 stitches (+1 turning chain).
2. Rows: Crochet single crochet stitches back and forth until the strip is 2 cm or more in width, depending on preference.
3. Insert a scrunchie or hair tie through the band and slip-stitch the edges together to secure.

5. Assembling the Bow

1. Shape the Bow: Fold the first and second pieces in half, sewing through the center with simple stitches using a needle and thread.
2. Wrap the Thread Center: Pull tightly and wrap the thread around the center of both pieces to give the bow its 3D look.
3. Attach the Center Band: Slide the assembled pieces inside the center band with the scrunchie. Adjust the bow shape as needed.
4. Hide any loose ends by weaving them in.
