I’m back on the crafting wagon, yaaaaay! Sadly, I think this might be too much bow even for my laid back work standards. I need people to take me seriously, y’all. Originally I started knitting a little turban/headband/earwarmer thing. But, at about 10 pm last night I decided I wanted to say I completed something. Plus, I’ve totally been jonesing for a knit bow. So there you have it!
How I did it:
- Bought hand-dyed Oregon yarn on sale at purl soho
- Cast on 20 stitches using size 8 needles
- Seed stitched until my heart was content {approx 50 rows}
- Cast off and wrapped some yarn around the middle. Tied on the backside to secure
- Used an alligator clip to fasten to my hair
See also: new hair cut. It’s not that exciting/different but it’s got a lot of volume up top, which gives me kind of a mullet in the morning. If that’s not super hot bed head, I don’t know what is!
{also, it turns out this is the 2nd time I’ve used this post title? I had to go back and look at the 1st one. Totes appropriate.}
Happy Monday!

I love making these big bows! They’re so fun!
PS; your hair looks great! xo
Cute! I want.
Suuuuuper cute! I went a little crazy with bow making since I was with you, and now I have about 12 different bows (crocheted & with vintage fabric). They’re so fun and easy…although mine are much smaller than yours! Glad your crafting hiatus is broken 🙂
looooove
Love the color. Great idea! Love purl soho!
I love it! The color is great, and I don’t think it is too big at all. Nestles in perfectly to your curls!
Love it!
