3/4 in. button (2)

Gauge:
Gauge is not crucial for this project. If the bow and band are too big, use a smaller hook size and if the bow and band are too small, use a bigger hook size. As an approximation: a 1 in. square consists of 5 st. over 5 rows in Tunisian simple stitch.

Finished Size:
The finished size of the bow is approximately 4.5 in. wide x 3 in. long and the adjustable band allows a fit for a range of baby to adult sizes. (15 in. laid flat unstretched)
