This week is the third and final installment in the hair bow series and I will be sharing with you my 6 motif patterns to personalize your bows. (You can find the patterns for the bows here; Part 1, Part 2) These motifs really add something special to the hair bows and you can have fun deciding on the colours they will be and on what bow you will add them. The designs include, unicorns, mermaid tails, flowers, a little rainbow and cloud, a polar bear and a heart. These designs were worked in 4 ply cotton and although you could work them using a larger cotton, the smaller ply allows the details to be seen easier.
Now you have all the patterns for the bows and the motifs I can't wait to see how you mix and match them, and what colours you choose to make them in. The way I have them is only a fraction of the number of different bows these can be used to make. When you make them I would love to see the pictures of them so don't forget to share them on my social media sites and use the hashtag #mixandmatchhairbows, which combination will you make first. If you prefer the ad free pdf version of this pattern then you can find it on my Etsy Store here.
The patterns for the motif's can be found at the end of this post, but please join me next week to get the pattern for my Honeycomb bow pouch, which is the perfect accessory to store all your new hair bows in. See you next week,

3. Notes
Here are a few handy tips to help you with the pattern.
·
There is no specific gauge for these bows, just work as you
like. They may come out a slightly
different size to mine but this doesn’t really matter.
·
Once the bows are made then they are glued to the crocodile
clips using hot glue in a glue gun. Once
cooled they are ready for use.
·
I made the bows in pairs, but you could also just make them
for individual use too.
·
Commas are use to divide stitches, if you see instructions
that do not have a comma in between then they should be placed in the same
stitch.
·
The mix and match bows can be made by making any of the 4
bow options below and then adding any of the motif patterns (or none) to the
bows.
·
The bows use up odd amounts of yarn and can be done in most
light weight yarns.
