The Ivy Bow is a crafter’s dream. The shell lace details and simple stitches come together to create the ultimate feminine bow. Designed in 3 sizes, this bow can be used in an incredible number of decorative situations. Place the Ivy Bow on a wreath, use it as a hair bow, use it for room decor or on the top of a Christmas tree. The possibilities and colour combinations are endless! FULL VIDEO TUTORIAL included in the pattern. The bow pattern is originally designed with DK weight yarn, giving it a delicate and classic look, however it is wonderfully versatile. Feel free to experiment with different yarn weights to create a bow that’s uniquely yours. Just keep in mind that using a thicker or thinner yarn will change the finished size. A chunkier yarn will give you a bigger, cosier bow while a finer yarn will create a more petite and delicate version. Have fun playing with textures! The green and burgundy bows are medium sized and the pink bow is small. Materials -4.0mm (U.S. G-6) crochet hook or size needed to obtain gauge -DK yarn.
