Big Easy Bow Free Crochet Pattern

I love, love LOVE this bow! I cannot tie a pretty bow to save my life! Crochet skills to the rescue!
I happened to use Red Heart Yarns new Tweed Twist yarn for this bow...isn't it gorgeous?? I love the colors, and the yarn is so easy to work with! It feels nice, too :) I can see this brightly colored yarn being used in a LOT of future projects! Thank you Red Heart for yet another new favorite yarn for me!
