BOW HAIR CLIP 2

I’m in the process of making small gifts and thought that ear rings, brooches, hair clips and the like were great lil gifts for lil girls. So rather than force you into making what I have – I thought I’d just give you a few motifs.. and you work your originality into making these into something cute.

Thank you for joining me.

Materials used : Today I’ve used a combination of our lovely Indian Kamal kadai / kankri polyester silk yarn ; as well as some Milford satin multicoloured yarn with a 1.75 mm crochet hook

For Indians : You could use Anchor , Red ros e or unbranded ; Red rose metallic or unbranded knitting cotton as well as Oswal or Vardhaman acrylic yarns

General yarn info : The yarn used today is not specific to this pattern.

You can use any yarn with a suitable hook to make this project to any size.

The finer the yarn, the finer and cuter the end result – so go ahead and use any yarn with a suitable hook to make this project to any size.

International yarns : Among the international yarns I have used in this thickness, I’d suggest Aunt Lydia Cotton 10, Aunt Lydia Bamboo-Viscose 10, DMC Petra, Sullivans knitting cotton (Australia), Milford Soft, Hilaza Rustica Eclat , Alize cotton yarn and Alize bamboo yarn.

Instructions using U.S terminology

Please note that I start all my rows with a ch 1, turning chain for ease.

Please check the top of this blog for easy video tutorials on all stitches used in today's pattern. For your convenience there video tutorials through the blog too

Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.

In my patterns I work with the principle of stitch count and body measurement.

This means that you need to work the stitch count in pattern, till you get the measurement (length and/or width) that you need for your project.

I found this lovely chart but no write up. Here are my notes then for this creation.

Magic circle : To refresh your skill, please view this easy video https://youtu.be/ISC39yOqWro

Single Crochet : Sc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (2 lps on hk); yo, draw through both lps. One sc made. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/ghACqBpA-3k

First stitch for Single Crochet : This is how I like to start my row of sc. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/6pVYRfsf4_M

Start Round 1 : with a magic circle and 6 sc in the magic circle.

Join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

We’ve completed the centre of our bow, with two “ears” for the side parts of the bow.

Now in one continuous movement we will work both the sides of the bow as well as the two little bow tassels below.

Double Crochet : dc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (3 lps on hk);

[yo, draw through 2 lps] twice. One dc made.

Chainless start for Double Crochet : I dislike the ch-2 / ch – 3 start, and this is what I do to start my row of dc.
