The Naomi Bow is a decorative bow in moss stitch. The bow is the perfect scrap yarn project for knitted Christmas decorations.

The first bow tip is worked from the tip up, and is shaped with increases. The bow is then worked back and forth into a long strip, before decreasing to shape the second bow tip. The strip is assembled into a bow shape with a stockinette stitch band over the middle of the bow.

The bow may be finished with an i-cord loop for hanging, or use it as a hair accessory or for gift wrapping.
