After a successful use of this “bow” stitch in blanket form (pattern here) I just had to give it a go on a beanie. I think it’s a super cute and easy way to jazz up a simple hat!  You can use alternating colors or a solid color. I’m even thinking rainbow colors with white bows would be crazy adorable!

Photo steps for Rows 3 and 4.

5-8) SC in each across. (31)

9-46) Repeat Rows 3-8 until you have 8 rows of bows.

47-48) SC in each across. (31)

Continuing from the last stitch, SC around the raw edge.

When you get around to the other end (the starting chain side) fold the rectangle in half with the right sides together. Sl st join the short ends together. Once at the opposite end, turn hat out so that the right side is now facing you. SC around raw edge. SC around twice more (so 3 rows of SC form the brim). Finish off.

Take a length of yarn on your needle and from the wrong side of the hat, sew the top end of the hat shut. Going in and out around the edge and then pulling tight like a drawstring. Then I usually stitch across the opening a few times and tie off, weaving the ends in well.

You can leave the top as is, or add a pom pom, or even another bow! 🙂

Rockin’ It! LOL
