the pattern is pretty simple here, and you really only need the idea to make your own. the yarn, gauge, needle size, or following the measurements in the pattern are not critical. make it as big or little as you like. all of the details i used to make this bow are listed below to make your own! also, i have a mini knit bowtie necklace in the jewelry shop!
Pin It
Materials
- Worsted weight yarn (I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease Solids and Heathers) Less than 1 skein- US #8 knitting needles
- size G crochet hook
Gauge
18sts and 24 rows = 4”
Notes
Gauge, nor yarn weight is critical for this project. For a larger or smaller bow, add or decrease cast-on stitches, making sure to keep the total number an odd number.
Seed stitch pattern: K1, *P1, K1. Repeat from * across.
Repeat for all rows.
Pattern
Main bow:Cast on 13 stitches.
Work in seed stitch until work measures 5.5 inches.
Bind off in pattern.
Loop:
cast on 5 stitches.
Work in seed stitch until work measures 3 inches.
Bind off in pattern.
Headband:
Using crochet hook, chain stitch 3 ropes about 20 inches long (or size to fit around your head).
Piecing it together:
To make the bow, wrap the loop around the center of the main bow and stitch it together on the backside. Run the 3 crochet chains through the back of the loop and join to the beginning of the chains.

That is sweet! I like moss stitch, it's one of my faves in knitting... The size and shape of this bow/headband is idea--punchy, but not too, too big--LOL! Super! :o)
This is so pretty. Thank you for sharing the pattern. Did you knit your lovely jumper x
thank you! nope, it was a lucky vintage find. although, i've thought many times that i should make a pattern for it, just in case anything ever happens to this one!
This is adorable!
I started work on my attempt..hopefully will be finished tonight!
This is SO darling! Love love love it.
I happen to have some leftover purple yarn that my 7 year-old is coveting--I'm going to use it to make one of these and put it in her Christmas stocking! Thanks!
I just finished it and I love it! So simple and so cute.
I love this pattern! It is so adorable. I just finished one up in a lovely taupe color from Lion Brand. Very well done.
i found this great for getting back into knitting after not knitting for ages!
mine was a little more ramshackle than yours, though ^.^
This is perfect, just what I was looking for.
Thanks for sharing! :D
Thank you for this pattern! There are items in my closet I had always thought would look perfect with a pretty bow headband, but I had never found the right pattern.... until now...
I linked your blog post in my chictopia blog
Hope that was allright ;>
hi lauren -- absolutely! thanks so much and hope you enjoy your bow!!
I was just wondering how you succeeded in getting the headband to stay on your head? Did you attach the chains to a form, or is it tied under your hair?
This pattern is precious!
Thanks! :)
Hi Kaitlyn - So, I chained the 3 lengths to the size of my head, then attached all of the ends together to form a big circle. (If I can remember correctly, I think I just tied the yarn tails of each end to the first stitch of each cord.) As long as you fit it snuggly for your own head, it stays on pretty well. Good luck!
It's beautiful, I'm doing my own, but you are beautiful too .
Fantastic! Knit this up in less than two episodes of Stargate. Kid snatched it up and wore it to school this morning. Big smiles all around. I see a lot of these in my future. Thank you so much!
@mommyk8 - that's wonderful! i know with hand making stuff, i'm always nervous about my recipient actually wanting/using what i make. it's so nice when someone really enjoys something you made!
I made one this afternoon in random purple scrap acrylic and just clipped it into my hair when I went to class tonight because I haven't taught myself to crochet yet. Two people in my class asked me to make them bows too! And I'm already planning on making a friend a bow tie out of one. Thanks for the fabulous pattern!
This is super cute, but how do you stitch the loop together on the backside? I'm sorry, im kindof a beginner :P
simply just take a piece of yarn and a yarn needle and stitch back and forth between the pieces. hope this helps!
love it! made a video on how to make it I love it so much!!! http://youtu.be/PmSKytD0TrU
As i have no yet crocheted and have no hook. i am knitting a 'band' to go around my head.
this is a lush lil bow. :)

just started my own blog- check it out.

I did the bow and loop and instead of chains, I knitted a ribbed stitch headbands and sewed it onto the band. Super cute, great pattern.
I am going to make this for a friend, but I think I will make the crochet "chains" just a little bit wider... I love this pattern! It's short and sweet, just how I like it! :)
Here's a complete video How To on this pattern...
