Row 1:
- Work Hdc stitches into the chain stitches starting from the 3rd chain from the hook. Continue across the entire row. Save
Rows 2–7:
- Turn your work, Ch 2, and continue working rows of Hdc stitches into each stitch. Repeat this for a total of 7 rows, ensuring even edges and a rectangular shape.
Phase 2: Border Construction
- Switch to Anne Brilho yarn to add a decorative border to the rectangle base.
- Begin by working Sl St evenly along the edges. Use the following sequence for the corners:
Cornering:
- In each of the 4 corners, work 2 Sl St into the same stitch to pivot and neatly turn the design. Save
Edge Detailing:
- Along the sides of the rectangle, work the following sequence:
- 1 Ch followed by 1 Sl St into each stitch.
- This creates a light, textured framing for the bow. Work around all edges of the rectangle until finished and fasten off.
Phase 3: Assembly and Center Wrapping
- To form the bow shape:
- Pinch the center of the rectangle with your fingers to create the bow structure.
- Take Cléa Duplo yarn and wrap it tightly around the pinched center about 4 times.
- Once wrapped:
- Tie two secure knots on the back of the bow to hold the shape.
- Trim any excess yarn and hide loose ends at the back. Save
Phase 4: Decorative Curls
Attaching Yarn:
- Attach Cléa Duplo yarn at the center wrapping of the bow. Secure it with a Sl St.
Curl Formation:
- Begin with Ch 15 to form the foundation for the curl.
- Work 3 Dc into each chain stitch from the foundation chain.
- This will create a coiled effect as you progress. Save
- When you reach the end of the chain:
- Secure the curl by returning to the wrapping in the center, attach with a Sl St, and fasten off.
- Repeat this process to create a second curl on the other side of the bow. Ensure both curls are symmetrical and securely attached to the center wrapping.
Phase 5: Final Finishing
Hair Clip Attachment:
- Take the duckbill hair clip and attach it to the back of the bow using silicone glue.
- Press firmly and allow the glue to dry completely for a secure fit.
Optional Decoration:
- If using biscuit-style decoration or pearls:
- Attach them to the front center of the bow using silicone glue.
- Allow the glue sufficient time to dry before handling. Save
Final Measurements
- Bow Size: Approximately 7cm x 10cm, depending on yarn tension.
- Curls Length: Approximately 9cm per curl, creating a playful accent to the bow design. Save
