Bows are Cool

Bows are just as cool as bow ties.  And sometimes when making a crochet bow it can just as easily be used as a bow tie.  Long story short my friend asked me to make her a "big-ass bow."  She didn't care about the color or the style or the headband type, just that it was large and hand made.  No problem, I had made mini bows before for teddy bears and Mrs. Pacman, this should be only on a larger scale.  My problem was I didn't know how big big is... The first one I made was approximately a foot long, that is the measurement of the bow itself not including headbands.  So it was WAY too big.  My second one still turned out a little big, but it was wonderfully usable.  I even sewed it onto a stretchy headband that you can get at the store and with a little edge work to give it that personalized touch I had a wonderfully large bow.  :)
