Double Layered Bow – Free Crochet Pattern

September 1, 2018

I love the look of burlap bows and projects, but the idea of working with burlap intimidates me, mostly because of the fraying. I am sure it is easy, just more involved, but rather than go that route, I decided to crochet a burlap inspired double layered bow.

In my mind, the measurement width differences were going to be larger than they turned out, but I still love it. If you want a larger width difference, simply work the small bow with less stitches.

Use can attach a pin to the back of the bow to easily add or move around – imagine pinned to a cowl or headband, or sew or glue to embellish anything, like a tote bag, throw pillow, hat.

How would you use this fun double layered bow?

If you would like a PDF version of this post, you may get one through either my EyeLoveKnots Etsy Shop or EyeLoveKnots Craftsy Shop for a small fee. This fee is to compensate for the views lost when you no longer need to return to the blog to for the information, as you will have your own copy. Plus! It helps fund supplies for new projects to share with you!

Materials:

  • Lightweight #3 or Worsted Weight #4 Yarn – I used two strands held together of Baby Bee’s Sweet Delight Yarn in the Teddy colorway
  • H8/5mm Crochet Hook
  • Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends
  • Hot Glue and Sticks

Material Notes:

You can use one strand of worsted weight yarn – like Red Heart Super Saver, Caron One Pound, or Bernat’s Super Value, or two strands of a lightweight yarn, as I have done, such as Berroco’s Vintage DK yarn.

Time Spent:

My bow was assembled in a little over an hour.

Measurements:

The smaller bow measures 3.5″ wide, while the larger bow measures 6″ wide. From the top of the bow to the bottom of the pennant, my piece measures 5.25″ tall.

Abbreviations:

  • DC – Double Crochet
  • DC2tog – Double Crochet Two Stitches Together (Decrease)
    • To DC2tog: yarn over, insert hook into the first indicated stitch, yarn over, pull through 2 stitches, insert hook into the next stitch, yarn over, pull through 2 stitches, yarn over, pull through all the stitches on the hook.

Pattern Notes:

Instructions for small bow are given, with large bow in parenthesis.

Beginning chain 2 counts as a double crochet.

If you would like to see a photo tutorial on the pinching, wrapping, and finishing, I have one in my Large Striped Hair Bow – a free crochet pattern.

Pattern:

Bows:

Chain 36 (43). DC into the 4th chain from the hook, and across. [34 (41) DC]

R2 – 6: Chain 2, turn. DC into the 2nd DC, and across. [34 (41) DC]

Chain 1, but DON’T turn. Fold rectangle with the right sides facing each other, and the wrong side facing you. Slip stitch across. Fasten off with a loonng tail for wrapping.

Weave in initial tail at this point.

Small Bow: Turn to the right side, pinch the center of the bow together to your liking, and lightly wrap the center to hold it in position. Set aside.

Large Bow: Turn to the right side, pinch the center of the bow together to your liking, and lightly wrap the center to hold, then place the small bow on top, aligning the centers up and continue wrapping.

To finish off, you can weave in your tail, or tuck it into the piece.

Pennants – Make 2:

Chain 8. DC into the 4th chain from the hook, and across. (6 DC)

R2 – 4: Chain 2, and turn. DC into the 2nd DC, and across. (6 DC)

R5I: Chain 2, and turn. DC2tog over the 2nd and 3rd DC. (2 DC)

R6: Chain 2, and turn. DC into the 2nd DC. (2 DC)

Fasten Off.

R5II: Turn piece, and join yarn in the end chain 2. Chain 2. DC2tog over the 2nd and 3rd DC. (2 DC)

R6: Chain 2, and turn. DC into the 2nd DC. (2 DC)

Fasten off, and weave in ends.

Assembly:

You can use the foundation tails to sew the pennants to the bow, or you can hot glue together – I used the hot glue, and will show this method.

You’ll want to position your pennants touching at the center tips, but angled like an upside “V”.

Set the bow down on top of the pennants to make sure it is how you like it. You can adjust now. Take note to where the bow will sit.

My crochet hook is pointing to where my bow will sit, so I don’t over hot glue. Then I just filled in this corner, and matched on the other side.

And now you have a cute double layered bow!

Please feel free to make and sell your own Double Layered Bow using this pattern, but please DO NOT claim this pattern as your own nor should you sell my pattern, and DO NOT re-publish my photos as your own. DO NOT copy and paste my pattern anywhere, link to it instead.

    This bow is adorable! Burlap can be a hassle, so this cute bow is a great alternative. Thanks for sharing at the Snickerdoodle Create Bake Make Party!?

      Burlap intimidates me because of the fraying and mess. This is definitely a good alternative. Thanks for stopping by, T’onna!

      I’m sorry, I forgot to post my favorite yarn, it’s Lion Brand Scarfie. I have made many things from it, I just finished a scarf with this yarn, it works up fast which I like.
