This bow is crocheted in the round to create rounded edges, as opposed to the pointed corners of a traditional bow. Worked in only three rounds, the bow works up quickly so you can make a dozen in no time. Crochet a bunch in a variety of colors to use as appliques or hair accessories. Feel free to change the size of the bow by changing your crochet hook size or even your yarn weight.
