DIY: Crochet Bow Case Free Pattern.

Hello there! Since I love switching up my traveling crochet cases, the idea for this pattern was entirely the next design in line. With a sweet little bow design you can actually utilize this case for many other fun ideas like a pencil case or a cosmetic traveling pouch!
Ingredients:
Scissors (not pictured)
7in 18 cm polyester zipper
Needle and thread
Sewing yarn needle
Crochet hook H/8-5.00MM
Yarn of your choice (I chose Vanna's Choice/Hot Pink)

Abbreviations:
CH= chain
SC= single crochet
HDC= half double crochet
SS= slip stitch
You will first CH 25,
Turn work, and SC the entire first Row,
Turn and continue SC Row 2- Row 14.
SS at the end, cut and sew in the remaining yarn.

Reconnect the yarn, you will SC around the entire piece for a finished look.
SS at the end, cut and sew in the remaining yarn.

You will create this piece two times,
For the front as well as the back of the case. 
To create the bow.
You will CH 12, Turn,
 HDC the entire Row 1, Turn,
To continue the HDC technique until Row 25.
SS at the end, cut and sew in the remaining yarn.

Once complete.
Reconnect the yarn, you will SC around the entire piece for a finished look.
SS at the end, cut and sew in the remaining yarn.

Cut about less than half an inch of yarn.
Find the 13th row, to tie the yarn around the middle of the bow securing it tightly.
Knot it and cut.
Using an inch of yarn that you will cut,
Wrap the yarn around the middle of the bow. (I wrapped about 4-5 times.)
Tying the yarn in what will be the back of it,
Knot it and cut it.

To attach the bow.
You will sew the ends of the bow to one of the pieces which will be the front piece.
Using your yarn sewing needle, you will simply sew the side of the bow, into the very end of the bow. On both sides this action will be done.
Cut and sew in the remaining edges, to the other side, (what will be the inside of the case.)

To attach the zipper.
Lie the piece flat, which placing the piece on top of the zipper, not too close to where the teeth of the zipper lies. 
With the thread and needle, you will sew the top piece to the zipper.
You will continue this method for both sides of case piece.

Once complete.
With the yarn sewing needle and a bit of yarn.
You will sew the sides and the bottom case pieces together to complete the project!  
Have fun crafting!
