Knit Bow Pattern

Knit Bow Pattern

The Knit Bow is started with a Turkish cast on, then worked in the round until desired length is reached, finished with a kitchener stitch, and tied in a neat bow.  A hair clip is then slipped through the middle. It pairs well with the girls’ lounge sets, like the Once Upon a Dream Sweater.
