Hello there! Thank you for checking out the blog post containing the FREE CROCHET PATTERN for this super cute, coquette aesthetic bow granny square with a ruffle border! Scroll down for design notes and the free pattern, as well as an option to purchase the AD-FREE PDF download.
I posted a TikTok series on this pattern almost a year ago and have been procrastinating getting the pattern written. 😅 Oops!
I think this pattern is so cute for baby blankets, coquette aesthetic lovers, teenage girls, etc., etc. I love the extraness of the ruffle – it really takes the project to the next level in my opinion!
