Boutique Bow

March 13, 2014 By Corina 41 Comments

Make your little girl's dream come true with her very own Minnie Mouse bow! Perfect for playtime, dress ups, or any day she wants to be like Minnie. Best part? This easy pattern would take you less than a day to finish! Give it a whirl with our free pattern, or get the ad-free printable PDF pattern here.

This bow crochet pattern is designed after Minnie Mouse's popular bow. This bow pattern measures 5.5 inches wide using bulky weight yarn, but you can also use worsted weight for a slightly smaller version. #crochet #crochetlove #crochetlife #crochetaddict #crochetpattern #crochetinspiration #ilovecrochet #crochetgifts #crochet365 #addictedtocrochet #yarnaddict #yarnlove

Are you a Disney fan too? For the longest time, I have been wanting to make a bow that looks like a Minnie Mouse bow. Finally today, I broke out my graph paper and drew her bow the best I could. Then I tried to draw it as a flat piece and realized it would be a lot simpler to put together than I imagined! This free crochet bow pattern measures 5.5 inches wide.

Wrap the band around the middle of the bow. This will be a snug fit. Using yarn tail and needle, attach both ends of the band together. Weave in your ends.

What do you think? Is this crochet bow pattern Minnie approved?

You can also make these bows using worsted/medium-weight yarn and a 5MM/H crochet hook like Aledria Lay Brown did! Thanks so much for sharing your photo Aledria!

    Love this bow! I’ve tried so many and they’re never as perfect as this one! Do u think it could be done with two stands of ww? Thanks for all of the great patterns!

      Yes! It can be done with any yarn.. or two strands held together. Just make sure you use the appropriate hook size for how thick or thin the yarn is 🙂

    I just made this with crochet thread size 3. It measures out to be 2 1/2″ by 1 1/2″. Nice size for a hair bow for a baby or toddler. Love the pattern.

      I made a second one and it came out longer about 3 inches. I might have left out one of the rows 6 & 7 the first time. But they both look good.

      Just by adding more increase rows 🙂 And for every increase row you will want to add a decrease row with the other decreases.

    I am new to crochet and self taught. I’m super confused with the edging. Do I SC around the entire bow or just the last row? Thank you in advanced for the help!

      The entire bow 🙂 One SC into the side of each stitch, 2 on the corners. 🙂

    How would you HDC-2- TOG? Or DC-2-TOG? Yarn over and put your hook through two HDC OR TWO DC? That how I understand it heh.

    I was wondering if you might have a video on how to make this, I’m having some difficulty with trying to do the bow. I’m not as experienced in crocheting but I do know enough to somewhat decipher most of the pattern. I’m fine until I get to row 4, after that I’m having some difficulty continuing.

      I don’t. I plan to one day make videos once I have the equipment.. but that doesn’t help you now. Sorry.

      The numbers in parentheses at the end of each row is telling you how many stitches you crocheted. 🙂

    Hi
    I am in love with this pattern . I have made many. I am actually trying to enlarge it so that it may measure about 11 or 12 inches. I tried to tweak your pattern to make it work but could not. I am willing to pay for a pattern if you could explain to me how to do it. Please let me know either way I case you can’t so I can find another pattern. I am creating a Minnie Mouse blanket for my new Grandblessing and the bow has to be large
    Thank you in advance

    I am so in love with this bow pattern! It turned out adorable. I used worsted weight yarn with a 5.5 mm hook.
    My question is how did you put it in the hair? With Bobby pins? Hot glued and alligator clip on?

    Hello! I am creating a minnie mouse hat and your bow is PERFECT when i use size 4 yarn and a 5.0mm hook. Can I leave a link to this pattern giving you credit for it? Thanks so much! It will be a free pattern as well.

    I love your bow, and it fit perfectly using the worsted weight yarn on a Minnie mouse inspired hat. I am looking to publish a free pattern for my hat. Here is what I plan to say when they get to the bow part:

    Bow:
    The bow is NOT my pattern. I am going to link to the pattern I used. I feel like “making it my own” or republishing would be a disgrace to the original designer. Click here to go to the free bow pattern: Boutique Bow – Minnie Mouse Inspired, by designer Stitch11. I used my pink yarn with a 5.0mm hook.

    Please let me know if this is okay or if you want me to change it at all. Thanks so much!

      Hi, Deborah! TOG means together. For example, HDC-2-TOG would mean HDC 2 stitches together.
