Cute Bowties

This is a simple bow tie that I did in two different sizes, this one is about 5 1/2" long. These can be made into hair accessories (with a clip or glued to a head band) or used as actual bow ties.



Materials Needed:
Medium Worsted Yarn
Size I/9-5.5mm Crochet Hook
Yarn Needle
Scissors

Directions:
(For smaller bow tie)
Foundation: Ch 37
Round 1: HDC in third chain from hook and all the way down, then Ch 1
Round 2-5: Turn. 35 HDC and Ch1.
Cut tail at about 6 1/2"
Line up edges and sew together

For Middle Part:
Foundation: Ch 17
Round 1: SC in third chain from hook and all the way down, then Ch 1
Round 2-3: Turn. 15 SC and Ch 1.
Cut tail at about 4"

Assembly:
Fold band in half so that seam is in the middle. Fold smaller piece in middle with open parts over seam (this will be the back side). Tie ends of smaller piece in a knot and pull to the sides. Sew the ends of the knot to the back piece of the bow (only go through the back layer of the bow tie, stitches should not show on the front of the bow tie).
