Pattern Overview:
Create a charming bow necklace with small, connected crochet bows.
This tutorial is perfect for an intermediate crocheter who is comfortable with basic and some advanced stitches.

Create a slip knot, then chain 4 stitches.
First Triple Crochet:
Hold the last chain and chain another 4. Triple crochet into the 4th chain from the hook.

Chain 1 and turn your work.
Fill Bows:
In the triple crochet chain space, perform 3 double crochets, 2 half double crochets, and 2 single crochets.
Chain Links:
Chain 6, then chain 3 more, starting in the 4th chain from the hook, crochet 4 double crochets back down the chain.
Complete All Bows:
Repeat the above sequence for each bow along the foundation row, then slip stitch to close the row.
Refining the Bows
Flip Work:
Turn the bows so they face downward.
Repeat Fills:
Place 3 double crochets, 2 half double crochets, and 2 single crochets into the same space as the first row bows.
Cinch Bows:
Use a single crochet captured from the bottom of the bow to pull tight and help define the bow shape.
Continue Pattern:
Repeat across all bows, placing a chain 1 between sequences.
Space Between Bows
Begin Space Row:
Chain 5, turn your work.
Post Stitches:
Execute a front post single crochet, chain 6, and continue the pattern.
Pinching Bows:
After the chains, pinch three chains together with a double crochet from the bottom.
Complete Row:
Repeat across, ending with a slip stitch to secure.
Final Edging
Edge Start:

Place a single crochet into each stitch, adjusting in the chain spaces to maintain a straight edge.
Finish Edge:
Slip stitch to finalize the edging.
Finishing and Assembly:
Tie Preparation:
Chain 5, create a loop by slip stitching into the end chain.
Loop Crochets:
Work 8 single crochets into the loop for strength and visual appeal.
Ribbon Insertion:
Thread ribbon through the loops on each necklace end.
Weave in Ends:
Use a tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends securely.
Adjustment:
