Crochet Chain Gift Bows

These are so cute and easy!  To add some hand stitched fabulousness to any gift, make a few of these in just a few minutes.

Here's what you'll need:

• Small amounts of yarn (just a few yards or so)
• Crochet hook (I used an H hook, see which hook is recommended for your particular yarn by checking out the yarn label)
• Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)

To make a bow, start with a chain:

• For a smaller, less loopy bow, chain 30.
• For a larger, more loopy bow (like the red one), chain 50.

Weave in any ends.

Making the bow is super simple!  Just make a small loop...don't make the loops too big or it will be floppy and saggy looking.  Smaller loops are a little sturdier and "fluffy" looking.

Make a second loop.  It will kind of look like a figure 8.

Now keep repeating until you have several figure eights...I got about 4 on each side with 30 chains long.  For the red bow that is 50 chains long, I got about 5 loops on each side.  With a length of yarn about 10-12 inches long, tie the loops in the middle, making sure you tie it as tightly as you can.

Now you can secure it to a gift!  You can use the tails to tie it on or you can snip the tails short and just tape it right on...cute!

Here I paired up a smaller bow and larger bow,

 Happy gifting, folks!
