Crochet a bold bow that looks straight from a boutique
The Lily Bow turns soft yarn and simple shapes into a pretty hair clip you’ll want to wear again and again.
This intermediate crochet pattern shows you how to make three pieces: the main bow, a lower bow layer, and a slim center band. Once joined, they create a full, polished bow with rich texture and plenty of charm.
The 3-double-crochet puff stitch gives the bow its raised look, while the cotton and soybean fiber yarn helps it hold its shape.
