Pink Bow Tie

This little pink bow tie is one of my go-to patterns for handmade accessories: two neatly symmetrical wings and a darker centre knot that pulls the whole design together. The chart reads simply, square by square from the top, and since it’s wider than it is tall, a classic square pegboard is all you need. The key thing here is symmetry: double-check both wings match before you iron, that’s what gives you a crisp, straight bow rather than a wonky one. Once pressed, this little bow tie makes a lovely bag charm, hair clip, or pendant, whatever you fancy. It’s also a fun little project for practising symmetry with the kids, no fuss, and such a cute result to show for it!
