Step-by-Step Instructions
Make 2
- Create a Slip Knot: Begin by making a slip knot and placing it onto your crochet hook.
- Chain Stitches: Chain 19 stitches. For a larger bow, increase the number of chains; for a smaller bow, decrease the number.
- Single Crochet Rows: In the second chain from the hook, work a single crochet. Continue single crocheting in each chain across until you reach the end. Repeat this for a total of four rows. Make 2.
- Fasten Off: After completing the rows, yarn over and pull through, leaving a tail of about 18 inches.
- Sew the Ends Together: Take the two ends of your crocheted piece and sew them together using the yarn needle, forming a loop.
- Form the Bow: Fold the loop into a bow shape and secure the center by wrapping the yarn around it a few times. Tie a knot at the back to hold everything in place.
- Take the other rectangle and fold it in half to find the center. Then fold it slightly on top then take the other bow and place it on the center of your rectangle and wrap your yarn around it around 8 times, then tie it. Weave in your ends.
- Attach the Keychain Ring: Thread the yarn tail through the keychain ring and tie a secure knot.
- Weave in Ends: Use the yarn needle to weave in any loose ends for a neat finish.
Creating a crochet bow keychain is a fun and rewarding project that allows you to practice basic crochet techniques while making a functional and fashionable accessory.
