DIY: Crochet Bow Hand Muffs

Hello there and Happy Tuesday!  Here is a free pattern I created to make these crochet hand muffs. There is something truly classic about hand muffs and I have always wanted a pair, so here is my version! The bow is entirely detachable and there is plush material that is sewn inside of the muff to keep your hands nice and warm. I added straps for style as well as it makes it a bit easier to carry around!
