The 7-Minute Crochet Bow: Quick, Cute, and Perfect for All Your Projects!
Ever feel like your latest amigurumi could use a little something extra? Or maybe that blanket you’re working on could use a pop of personality? Introducing our 7-Minute Bow! In less time than it takes to brew your tea, you’ll have the cutest little bow to add to a pop of sweetness to your amigurumi, add a bow tie for a dash of gentlemanliness, or even attach to your latest wearable project for a bit of extra cuteness.
This bow is perfect for those last-minute embellishments. Got some yarn scraps? Great! Grab a hook, start that timer, and let’s whip up some bows faster than you can say "yarn stash." You can make one in every colour, add it to all your projects, and maybe even stash a few away because, honestly, is there such a thing as too many tiny bows? (Answer: no.)
You can make your bow with any yarn you wish and the hook that suits your tension the best.
For the purpose of taking photos where you can see the stitches - I have used an Aran / Weight 4 yarn with a 5mm hook.
See below for "Quick Bow Pattern Details" and "Bow Pattern with Photos Details"
