I was wondering how you planned to attach to hair:-)

Barbara,
You can attach it to a hair comb or one of those craft hair clips. I have taken "hair" out of the title. I did not mean to leave it there. There are many places that a bow can be used.

Hi Teresa,

I recently restarted crocheting, and your videos and patterns have been an absolutely amazing help to me! This is my first time using crochet thread and I am not sure what size hook I should be using to make this... I started with a size C, but it is coming out very wide... Please help because I love this pattern!

Brandon Lind,
I used a size 10 steel crochet hook. You can find them at your local wal-mart store or craft store. It can be made with larger steel hook if you want to use a size 1 or 2. You will get different results with a C aluminum hook.

Brandon Lind,
I forgot to mention that you can use 3-ply yarn with the size C hook if you want to use yarn instead. It will be larger with yarn since the pattern was made for thread.
