15-minute Crochet Bow

15-minute Crochet Bow (ignore the flabby arm behind the curtain)

I whipped this little baby up in 15 minutes as a sample for a crochet how-to for Demand Medi which has since removed it and put up a pattern for a much plainer, more boring bow. Now the pattern lives here, where no one can screw with it.

The 18-year-old's reaction? "Awww, that's cute! Can you make me one in black for my ponytail?" Did I mention the 18-year-old is a boy?

Yes, it's a black sparkly version. It took me 20 minutes, including finding the yarn. Pattern after the jump.

 And because I am that kind of mommy, this black sparkly bow will be waiting for the boy when he wakes up.

Did I mention he also got the crocheted miniature teddy bear?
