15. Granny Square Crochet Hair Bow Pattern by The Spruce Crafts

There are many ways to crochet a bow. However, the simplest option is often the best one. You can easily make a crochet bow by crocheting any size square or rectangle. Then pinch the middle to create the shape of the bow.

You can keep the middle pinched by wrapping yarn around it, stitching it, or—as you’ll see in this crochet hair bow tutorial—making use of a rubber band.

19. Free Crochet Hair Bow Pattern by Truly Crochet

This bow is worked in half double crochet back loop only stitch and I love how it gives that rib effect. Make this bow by crocheting a rectangle first then joining the ends together which doubles the thickness of the bow and then wrapped a long piece of yarn around the middle to clinch it in so it gives it that ‘bow’ effect and then attached a crocodile clip.
