hello all! a client who orders crochet things from me often has asked me to make two bears, one with a bow and one with a bow tie. im having some trouble finding a bow pattern that isn’t too big or small. the bear itself is made of premier parfait chunky, but i will be using acrylic for the bows. if you have a bow pattern, please let me know. here’s a picture of the bear with a bath and body works hand sanitizer for scale

Is this any good?
If not you could easily freehand one by making a rectangle that’s the size you want, and then tying the middle

For the bow tie, you could make a long strip of Crochet, like a ribbon and then fold it into the bow tie.

The pattern I use was so simple,
Ch 2, in the first ch space put 6-8 dc, sl st into the chain then ch 2 from there and in the ch farthest from your hook out another 6-8 dc. Sl st in the last ch space then wrap the string around the centre of the two bow rounds, then tie a triple knot with the string from the ch
This is it if I remember all you have to do is sew it on, it says 6-8 because it depends on how you want it to look but I suggest doing it in more premier parfait!
Hope this helps and maybe isn’t way too confusing

I see you got your answer for the dilemma.
I was trying to link some of the youtube videos I use when I need to tie bows and bow ties but it won’t let me

You could always freehand one! I usually make a length of chains, then use any stitch across until it’s the width that you like, then I wrap yarn around the middle to cinch it
