Project Name: Christmas bow #1
Project Link: Reusable crocheted gift bows
Brief Description: I found a pattern to make crocheted gift bows. It’s not a bad pattern, but it leaves a lot of room for error. I didn’t like how my bow came out, though the bow in the pattern is gorgeous. I decided to make my own pattern that was a lot less fiddly. You’ll see those below.

Project Name: Christmas bow #2
Project Link: Reusable crocheted gift bows
Brief Description: This was my first attempt at making my own pattern. I didn’t quite like how it turned out, so I made a few tweaks to it. You’ll see those a little further down. I made this one without the twists, so it’s a little more like a grid… a crossword grid if you will :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Project Link: Reusable crocheted gift bows
Brief Description: This my still my first attempt at the pattern, but second bow, this time with the twists. I liked this one a little more, but still did some tweaking to the pattern. This tangled mess looks a little bit like bloody brains, which zombies eat.
