Table of Contents
1. Beginner Crochet Bow
This is a basic, easy decorative bow pattern. Follow it, and you’ll be able to make three sizes of bows in no time! All you’ll need is a small amount of worsted yarn and knowledge of chaining and single crochet. Plus, the pattern includes a video tutorial, written instructions, and a chart, so it’s perfect for beginner crocheters of all learning styles!
2. Crochet Feminine Bow
Here’s a similar bow, but this one is a bit more delicate and feminine. It’s made with DK-weight yarn, and you only need to know how to chain, slip stitch, and half-double crochet. The designer has provided written instructions, progress photos, and even a video tutorial, so the pattern is very beginner friendly.
3. Classic Sailor Hair Bow
This is a super cute hair bow that you could also use as decor! It’s made in the sailor bow style with diagonal ends on the tails. The best part? The bow can be made in five sizes, from mini through jumbo! Plus, the pattern calls for super easy stitches, so as long as you’re comfortable assembling the bow, you’ll be able to make one in just a few minutes!
4. Decorative Bow
Here’s another bow that’s assembled from three crocheted pieces. Like the designer says, it’s perfect for decor or gifts! The pattern calls for DK yarn, but you could use a lighter or bulkier weight to change your bow’s size. Just make sure to use a smaller hook size than your yarn calls for—this will ensure tight stitches. The pattern is super easy to follow and includes plenty of pictures, so if you’re a beginner crocheter, it’s a good choice.
5. Crochet Simple 3D Bow
As you can see from the designer’s photos, this bow is the perfect accessory for any crochet project, from blankets to clothes. It’s a fun three-dimensional bow with small tails and plenty of style! Just pick up your favorite DK-weight yarn and follow the written pattern or video tutorial, and you’ll have an easy bow in no time!
6. Easy Crochet Bow
This super-easy bow can be made with aran yarn or any other size. Choose your favorite yarn weight to match what size of bow you want! The pattern calls for basic stitches, though you’ll need to know how to work in the back loop only. The bow shape is achieved by winding yarn around the center of the crocheted piece, which is one of the easiest ways to make a bow!
7. Crochet Big Red Bow
This big decorative bow is perfect for Christmas presents and holiday decor, especially if you use red yarn like the designer did. If you use worsted yarn, you’ll have a 9×7-inch bow. The pattern is pretty easy, though you’ll need to know how to do tall crochet stitches. Don’t worry if you haven’t used this technique before, because the designer explains it in the video tutorial and also provides a link to instructions.
8. Crochet Bow
This bow has fun curly tails, just like when you curl a ribbon while wrapping gifts. You’ll need worsted weight yarn and can use it to make a small, medium, or large bow. Best of all, the pattern only calls for easy stitches, even for the curly tails!
9. Applique Ribbon Bow
This is a thin bow that would make a great hair accessory, gift bow, or other decoration. I love its delicate look! The pattern is easy to follow—just make sure to crochet into the loop created by your starting chains, rather than into the chains themselves.
10. Bow in the Round
This bow uses a different technique than the rest of the patterns in this round up: working in the round. You just crochet a circle, then use yarn to tie off the middle and create a bow shape. You can do so many fun things with the colors in your circle, so you’ll definitely have bows that are unique to you. Plus, the stitches are easy and the bows can be made in 10 minutes or less!
11. Sassy Bow
These simple bows are super cute and colorful! They can be made in under 20 minutes, and they only require easy stitches plus the reverse single crochet/crab stitch, which is described in the pattern. They’d make a great decoration for pretty much anything!
12. Nyan Bow
This bow is a throwback to the popular Nyan Cat. It’s a great way to use up scrap yarn, because you’ll only need a small amount of each color. The pattern is easy to follow, but make sure you’re comfortable with color changes before you begin. For the sprinkles, the designer used small beads, but you could also sew in short scraps of colorful yarn.
13. Crochet Bow Tie
This is a super basic bow that works well for a bow tie, a hair bow, or decor. It can be made with scrap yarn, only requires easy stitches, and works up in five minutes or less! It’s definitely one of the most beginner-friendly decorative bows in this round up!
14. Large Bow
Looking for a larger bow? Daisy Cottage Designs also has a pattern for that! This bow is made by holding two strands of worsted yarn together, which gives it a bulky look. The pattern is easy to follow and even includes instructions for two sizes of this large bow.
15. Red Heart Crochet Glamour Gift Bows
This pattern includes not one but two bow designs! They’re perfect for holiday gift bows. Just grab some Red Heart worsted yarn and you’ll be able to whip them up in no time. The white bow uses double crochets for a fun texture, and the red bow is made of a super cute rosette with curly tails, just like the festive Christmas bows you can buy at the store.
16. Crochet Heart Bow
This bow features a super-cute heart pattern. It looks great in Valentine’s Day colors like pink and red, but you can choose any colors you like. The pattern includes detailed instructions and progress photos, which is great because you’ll need to know how to work with two colors at once. Once you get the hang of it, this pattern is a breeze!
17. Chunky Bobble Bows
Last but not least is this adorable chunky bobble bow! The texture of the bobble stitch adds so much style to this accessory. The bows turn out quite large, and you can use either chunky/bulky yarn or two strands of worsted yarn held together. You’ll only need to know how to chain, single crochet, and do the bobble stitch, which is explained in the pattern. There are plenty of progress photos, so this is a beginner-friendly pattern.
