Simple Crochet Bow

I'm not very good at writing tutorials but I always find them and love them so I am going to try :)

For this bow you will need
4 ply ww yarn ( I used 2 strands together for a fuller bow but you can use one)
size H Crochet hook
Lined Alligator clip (Optional)

This will be the length of the bow
1. Ch. 11, hdc in 2nd chain from hook and in each chain across. Ch1, turn. (10)
2. Hdc in each stitch across. Ch1, turn. (10)
3.Repeat 2 more times for a total for 4 rows
Sc around bow. This will create rounded corners. For more square like corners, 2 sc in each corner.
Fasten off

Center of bow
Using the same color or an accent color, tie a knot in the middle of the bow and wrap yarn around the center until it is the thickness you like. Fasten off & weave in loose ends.

Optional: Attach to lined alligator clip by simply hot gluing the back

Its my Tent!


My mom made her grandkids the cutest tents ever! Well my daughter wanted a "rug" for her tent, so I did just that. I just did a simple half double crochet with some really cute, fuzzy colorful yarn I had left over :)
