Crochet a Bow: Step-by-Step Guide

1. The Start

First, cast on 67 chain stitches. Chain stitches constitute the most fundamental type of stitch in crochet.

You create a chain stitch by pulling the working yarn through the loop already on the hook, essentially forming a straightforward loop with a knot.
