🎀 Step-by-Step Crochet Granny Square Bow Accessory
✅ Part 1: Make Two Heart-Shaped Granny Squares
Each “bow wing” is a granny heart.
Granny Heart Instructions:
- Round 1:
- Magic ring.
- Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc into ring, ch 2.
- (3 dc, ch 2) × 3 more times.
- Join with sl st. You now have a 4-corner mini square.
- Round 2:
- In each ch-2 corner: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc)
- Between corners: 3 dc in the space.
- You now have a full granny square.
- Turn it into a heart shape:
- From the top middle of the square, crochet:
- Into one corner: (3 dc, 3 tr, 3 dc) — creates the rounded part.
- Down one side: 3 hdc, 2 sc
- At bottom: sl st or picot
- Up the other side: 2 sc, 3 hdc
- Into the last corner: repeat (3 dc, 3 tr, 3 dc)
- From the top middle of the square, crochet:
Now you have a heart-shaped granny square. Make 2 of them.
✅ Part 2: Make the Bow Tails (Long Band)
- Foundation Row:
- Ch 51 (or longer if you want longer tails)
- Row 1:
- Sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (50 sc)
- Row 2–6:
- Ch 1, turn, sc in each stitch across.
You now have a long, narrow strip.
✅ Part 3: Assemble the Bow
- Place both heart squares with the pointed ends facing outward (they form the two sides of the bow).
- Lay the band behind them, centered, so the ends drape down like ribbon tails.
- Use a small strip (6 sc wide x 4 rows) to:
- Wrap around the middle where all parts meet.
- Sew the strip closed in the back to form the bow’s “knot.”
🧵 Finishing Touches:
- Weave in all ends securely.
- Block the hearts lightly to shape if needed.
