Decorate Your Gifts with this Easy Crochet Bow Pattern

Decorating Christmas packages with a simple crochet bow adds a festive and personal touch without much effort. Choose a ribbon in a seasonal color, such as red, green, or gold, and tie it around the package in a neat bow. For a classic look, use satin or grosgrain ribbons, or opt for burlap or twine for a rustic charm.

This pattern is great for a beginner and will showcase your new crochet skills.
