Crochet Big Red Bow

Big Red Bows make festive decor during the holiday season and now you can crochet one! Hang it on your door, wreath, tree, packages, and more! I’ve written out a simple pattern but included a little video tutorial to show a few of the steps that might be confusing (like the standing stitches and how to tie the bow). And of course the bow can be made in any color you choose! Can’t wait to see your versions of this big beautiful bow!

You will need to know how to make tall crochet stitches. Here is a great tutorial from Moogly. I also go over it in my video below so there is no confusion!

Ribbon Pattern:

Row 2-65: HDC in each stitch across, chain 2, turn.
Now continue to make the triangles for the edge of the ribbon
Triangle edge: chain 8, *SC in first, HDC, DC, tc, 4 tall crochet, 5 tall crochet, 6 tall crochet, skip 4 stitches, join with slip stitch, chain 8 and repeat from *, join, fasten off and weave in ends.
Repeat the entire triangle edge on other side of ribbon.
