Piece it Together...
Oversew row ends of the two bow pieces, with right side of st-st on the outside.
Stuff the bow lightly with stuffing/toy filling into both ends, before oversewing cast-on edges and cast-off edges of the two bow pieces.
Sew onto a hairband, headband or any other desired object!
Make it Different!
Garter stitch may be easier for children or those who are learning. This will still result in a good bow, but it will be smaller and less sturdy.
Instead of chunky or DK yarn on its own, you could use two strands of DK yarn, and if doing so, using two different colours can also have a nice two-tone effect.
Make your bow even bigger by casting on extra stitches and adding more rows to the decreasing and increasing parts of the pattern.
Add stripes by changing yarn colour every 2 rows. Or add a strip of colour to the end of each bow.
Behind the Scenes!
These patterns are all made up as I go along, learning from mistakes along the way. Every time I create a new pattern, I record it in the Updates part of this site (effectively my blog…) There is a story behind each creation, and this can help give you some more ideas and inspiration...
