Bow:
With the U.S. M/13-9 mm crochet hook, chain 65 (85, 105), slip stitch into the second chain from the hook, slip stitch in each chain all across. Break yarn and weave in the ends. Weave the tie through the round right above the button hole. I wove mine so the bow would tie three stitches to the left of the button hole. However you can tie it where ever you like.
