Better Bows-a knitted hair bow

Don’t you want a hair bow that matches your latest sweater creation? Now you can quickly knit that elegant matching bow that stays in your hair, thanks to the barrette underneath.

A couple of odd balls of Colorado Grinasco and Jaeger silk 4-ply inspired this project, but you can substitute any fingering or sports weight yarn to make a bow that you’ll like. Sleek or fuzzy, your yarn choice can reflect your mood or taste.
