This is a great first crochet pattern! You basically crochet two rectangles and assemble them into a bow. The crocheting portion is repetitive and a small part of this pattern.
If you want to take on this project as a complete beginner, make sure to view the tutorial if any part of the written pattern is confusing for you! Also, please leave any questions in the comments if you have any.

Crochet Bow Pattern
Top Piece
Foundation: Make a slipknot, ch21
Note: Do fewer chains for a less wide bow or more chains for a wider bow. The width of the bow will end up being the length of the chain folded in half.
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across (20)
Row 2-4: ch1, turn, sc across (20)
Note: Do fewer rows to make the top piece of the bow shorter or more rows to make it longer.
Fasten off with a 45cm (1.5 ft) loose end.
Tail
Make a second one, but fasten off with a normal loose end. Weave in the loose ends on the tail piece.
Assembly
With the long loose end on the top piece, sew the ends of the rows together to form a ring.
- Flatten the top piece with the seam in the center
- Wrap the long end around the top piece along the seam
- Tie a tight double knot with the other loose end
- Fold down the top of the middle of the tail piece
- Center the top piece on top of the tail piece
- Wrap the long loose end around both pieces while tightening it until you’re left with a short loose end
- Tie a tight double knot with the two loose ends.
Adding a Keychain Clasp (Optional)
Insert the keyring at the middle of the top of the bow under the strands of yarn we wrapped around the top piece.
Finished Crochet Bow
Weave in your loose ends, stretch out the rows at the ends of the top piece, and your crochet bow is finished!
