A couple weekends ago I made myself a little knit bow ring just for fun and completely fell in love with it! I recently listed a few in my Etsy shop, with more colors to come as soon as I make it through the next few weeks. I thought I would share how I made the bow ring with my fellow knitters for a fun, thanks for being so awesome, graduation gift to you. Enjoy!
Materials:
- Knitting needles: Size 6
- Yarn: I used I Love This Cotton in Aqua
- A ring
- Scissors
- Tapestry needles
Pattern:
1) Cast on four stitches
2) Knit one row, purl one row, repeat to your desired length (about 15 rows)
3) Bind off, leave a long tail for the middle of the bow
4) Weave in the first shorter tail
5) Take the long end and sew the top and bottom together. Use the rest of the tail and wrap it tightly around the middle several times. Secure the end through the back of the loop.
6) Attach the bow to your ring!
**Note: This pattern is meant for personal use. Please do not reproduce for sale.
As you read this, I am probably either about to take or taking my first final exam. *Fingers crossed* it goes well! Maybe I should wear this ring for luck...
Thanks for this tutorial, it's really cute!

ReplyDeleteHi Meredith, oh, these bows are super chic! I live in Paris, currently taking French classes, and had to prepare an "éxposé" for one class. I used the pattern to demonstrate how to knit and turn the bow into a pin! I knitted 12 of these cute bows (not in class) and attached them to safety pins as gifts for everyone! Even the guys took them! Fantastique et merci!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this!!
ReplyDeleteDon't know that I am capable of making one myself... may have to stop by your Etsy shop!
Thanks for sharing :)
I just love this and I am so glad I found your blog :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute and really well explained :) Thanks for the tutorial I can't wait to try it! x Rachel

Hello Meredith!
ReplyDeleteYour ring pattern was actually my first knitted item! i just started knitting 3 days ago, and today i made me a little ring. it's not as pretty as yours, but i am a little proud of myself. because i don't crochet or knit in english normally, but german.
i hope you have a lovely day!

ReplyDeleteTempting me to learn crochet (it looks super technical though) hehe.

Hi. I saw your bow ring on Twitter! So cute! I'm going to try to make one too! I love your blog as well. It looks like a nice place to be! :-) XX
ReplyDeleteThese are cute! I bought an icord maker years ago that showed how to make bows. I made a bow tree with them for my granddaughter. Never thought to put them on a ring! :D
