Crochet Hair Bow Pattern
Supplies You Will Need:
- Crochet hook: 4.00 mm (or whichever size you like best. Keep in mind the size of the finished project will be smaller or bigger depending on the hook you choose)
- Worsted weight yarn in any color(s) you choose
- Fabric glue
- Duck bill hair clips
- Yarn needle
- Stitch marker
- Scissors
- Buttons (optional)
Crochet Abbreviations:

- Dec- Decrease
- Ch- Chain

- St(s)- Stitch(es)
- Sl st- Slip Stitch
- FO- Fasten Off
- Sc3tog- Single Crochet 3 Together (decreasing three stitches into one)
- 3 sc inc- 3 Single Crochet Increase (create 3 sc in a single stitch to increase)
Bow:
- ch 7, turn (6)
- Sc across, ch 1, turn (6)
- Dec, sc 2, dec, ch 1, turn (4)
- Sc across, ch 1, turn (4)
- Dec x 2, ch 1, turn (2)
- Sc across, ch 1, turn (2)
- Inc x 2, ch 1, turn (4)
- Sc across, ch 1, turn (4)
- Inc, sc 2, inc, ch 1, turn (6)
- Sc across (6)
- Starting in the top right corner,
sc around the edge of the entire bow to make
a neat edge all the way around. To keep more of
a bow shape, crochet a sl st in the middle stitches
where the bow knot should be. See pics below for
reference! - FO. Weave in ends.
Middle Knot:
- Ch 7, turn (6)
- Sc across (6)
- FO. Leave a long tail for sewing, or weave in ends
if you plan to use glue. - Wrap around the middle part of the bow piece. Sew
or glue in place.
Variations:
- Instead of making the middle knot piece, try gluing or sewing a button instead!
- Try mixing up the colors by crocheting the middle knot a different color.
- Maybe switch it up with a color change half way through the bow, and have two different colored sides! Plus a different colored middle knot piece as well to give it even more of a multicolored look.
Finishing Up:
- To finish your crochet hair bow, add a small dollop of fabric glue to the back of the hair bow piece. Pinch the clip to open, and press the bow to the duck bill clip. Hold for approximately 30 seconds to set the glue.
- Leave to dry for 24 to 48 hours before your first use.
- Alternatively, you can slip the top of the clip through one of the stitches on the back of the bow and slide the bow onto the clip as far as you can. No sewing or gluing required!
- And you’re all set!
Mini Crochet Hair Bow for Dolls and Amigurumi
To create a bow small enough for our dolls and amigurumi projects, we are basically going to repeat the above steps, but on a mini scale!
I’ve crocheted mine in worsted weight yarn, and it is about 1.5 inches wide. For an even smaller bow, try crocheting it with a smaller crochet hook and a thinner yarn!
