SCALLOP BOW

Learn how to crochet a vibrant colored bow with a scalloped edge and add it to a headband or hat!

I could not wait to share this quick pattern where you can create and accessorize with this bow in less than 30 minutes.

TO GET STARTED GRAB:

• Stitch markers, tapestry needle, and scissors.
• Medium weighted yarn in a color of your choice.
• Crochet hook sized 4.0 mm F/6

CROCHET KEY (U.S. terms):

• ST/STS – STICH/SITCHES
• CH – CHAIN
• SC – SINGLE CROCHET
• DCTOG – DOUBLE CROCHET TOGETHER
• SL ST – SLIP STITCH
• RND – ROUND
• ROW – ROW

Special Stitches:

Double Crochet Together (DCTOG)-
A decrease technique in crochet. First yarn over and insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops (leaving 2 loops on the hook). Yarn over and insert the hook into the next stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop, leave 4 loops on the hook. Yarn over again and pull through the first 2 loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through all three remaining loops on the hook to complete.
