How to Crochet a Bow 🎀✨ | Free Pattern & a Step-by-Step Crochet Tutorial

-


Hello!

This beginner-friendly pattern guides you through each step to create bows. These are super simple and can be used by themselves or as an addition to a number of different projects. ✨💗

There is a detailed tutorial for the same on my YouTube Channel which you can check out with this link.


Let's get started!

Materials:

  • Yarn – Weight-3 acrylic yarn (less than 50 gms)
  • Hook
  • Scissors
  • Yarn needle

You can use this pattern with any type of yarn and the recommended hook size

Abbreviations:

st/sts – stitch/stitches

ch – chain

sk - skip

sc - single crochet

dc – double crochet

sl st – slip stitch

inc – increase

hdc - half double crochet

trc/tr - treble crochet 


Pattern

Part 1:

  • Ch 23
  • sk 1st ch, in 2nd ch: sc
  • Work across:
    • hdc, hdc, dc, dc, tr, dc, dc, hdc, sc
    • sl st, sl st, sc, hdc, dc, dc, tr, dc, dc, hdc, hdc
  • In last ch: 3 sc in same st
  • Continue along the other side of the chain:
    • hdc in next st (i.e., 2nd from the 3sc), hdc, dc, dc, tr, 2 dc, hdc, sc
    • sl st, sl st, sc, hdc, 2 dc, tr, 2 dc, 2 hdc
    • 2 sc in the last st
  • sl st to the first sc. Ch 1, leave a long tail and fasten off.


Part 2:

  • Ch 16
  • Sk 1st ch, then work:
    • sc, hdc, dc, tr, dc, hdc, sc, sl st
    • sc, hdc, dc, tr, dc, hdc, sc
  • Join with sl st, ch1. Fasten off. Don’t leave a long tail.


Assembly:

  • Using the long tail from Part 1, find the center of the bow and pull the yarn from back to front through the middle.
  • Place the smaller piece (Part 2) behind the Part 1 in the center.
  • Using the long yarn tail left from Part 1, wrap it tightly around the center where both pieces overlap. This creates the classic “bow” look and secures both parts together.
  • After wrapping the bow, bring the yarn tail behind the bow and secure it and weave it in.
And with that, you’re done making your bow!

I'd love to see if you make one of your own.
