TECHNIQUE USED: Crochet

MATERIALS

Caron International's Simply Soft Brites

1 skein color of your choice
Crochet hook size G (4.0 mm)

INSTRUCTIONS
Crochet chain 14 stitches.
Working in the top loop of each chain work 6 double crochets in the fourth chain from the hook.
Work 7 double crochets in each remaining chain (there should be ten more chains left.)  Keep your hook in the final loop.  You should have a nice curlicue shape.
With the crochet hook in a loop at the top of the curlicue, chain 30 more stitches.  
Now you are going to create another curlicue.  Work 6 double crochets in the fourth chain from the hook. 
Work 7 double crochets in the next 10 chain stitches.  There should be about 15 chain stitches in between the curlicues.  Use this area to tie around a pony tail.
Cut the yarn off, pull the yarn through the final yarn loop and finish the project by weaving the loose string through the curlicue. 

Please note:
You can tie this around a pony tail like a hair bow.  
You can make matching curlicue hair bows for pig tails.
If you want a longer curlicue just plan to do the double crochets over a few more chain stitches.   You will need fewer chain stitches if you want a short curlicue.
These can be made into key chains and book marks.
