Tea Party Bow Barrettes

With Spring/Summer here and the colder months behind us, I decided to take down the bonnets in my Evelyn & Flora Etsy shop and in their place sell hair barrettes and headbands. Ever fond of 'classic' styling I thought a simple bow would be true to Evelyn & Flora's signature style. After looking online, I came across this pattern which I immediatly fell in love with

Moss Stitch Bow Headband by A Common Thread

Wanting a small bow that I could sew onto a hair clip or thin elastic baby headband, I slightly changed the pattern to suit my needs.

I used size 3 needles with a pima cotton blend fingering weight yarn. This is the same yarn I use in my booties, so the hair accessories could easily match :)

I casted on the same amount of stitches (13 for the main bow and 5 for the loop) but i worked the main bow for only 2 inches and the loop for 1in.

Rhinestones securely hot glued down the center really adds something special! The bow looked a little...blah without them, so i'm glad i had a baggie of rhinestones just hanging around ;)

I'm selling them as a pair, and here is a link to my shop if interested:

Evelyn & Flora

so far i've made these pink ones for Evelyn and I just got done knitting a pair of seafoam colored ones for Evelyn's friend Betty

The shop is selling not only pink and blue but also in lovely shades of green,ivory,purple,red and grey.

I also plan on ordering thin elastic headbands from this shop:

Bitsy Bands

then sewing the bows unto them so hairless babies like my precious Flora can wear these adorable bows too :)
