ST PATRICK'S DAY BOW TIES & NECK TIE!

 

                                       HOW TO: BOW TIE/HAIR CLIP

It takes about 10 min. to do one.  I used 8 mm hook, 2 thin yarns tied together.  Do Foundation row that is 5 in. long.  Crochet until it's 1 1/2 in. wide.  Put aside.  Make a piece that is 1 in. x 2 1/2 long for the center of tie (optional:  wrap a piece of ribbon in center & attach on back).  Take the smaller piece & wrap it around the center of first one you made.  You can tie it on the back, if you let some yarn there after you Crochet.  You can also get another piece of scrap, or sew it on with a needle.  Attach a pin or clip (like ones used to clip your hair) & wear it!  This can also be worn in your hair.
