Easy and cute crochet bows to add as embellishments
Today we are going to make a really easy crochet bow. I believe the bow to be a symbol of femininity. If you take a look at little girl’s outfits they usually have bows or hearts printed on them. Girls also love to wear bows on their hair.

Grab both ends of yarn and start winding them around the middle of your bow. Now is the time to add the elastic band if you choose to. No sewing required!
