This Plain Jane Bow Pattern is an easy peasy pattern to make with an H-8 (5.00mm) crochet hook and worsted weight yarn. In this case, I decided to use Lily Sugar ‘N Cream yarn, which is fantastic to stay the stiffness that I wanted. (Fun fact: I used Lily Sugar ‘N Cream yarn all the time when first starting to crochet as it was easier to see stitches with – it's a great yarn for people who are just learning to crochet.)

You can add a bow for a number of things.

Bags
Hats
Pins
Hair accessories
Ear Warmers

Basically, you can add it to anything you can think of. I use it in many of my patterns to add some extra cuteness! For example, the Preemie/Newborn Chick Hat Pattern, Preemie/Newborn Gingerbread Hat Pattern, and Preemie/Newborn Bow Hat Pattern.

This crochet pattern is easy to adjust the size by using a different crochet hook and yarn sizes. For example, if you want the bow smaller use a small crochet hook and yarn weight. If you want it bigger, use a bigger crochet hook and yarn weight.

In addition, it's easy to add a clip to the back with hot glue, so you can easily add and remove it to almost anything! Do you have any recommendations how you'd use this pattern? I'd sure love to hear your ideas!
