This is an unofficial entry, as I only have one item to match to as of yet: the KG Graphic Flower Top. I will update this entry if I have any color updates/additions once I am able to match to additional items.

Based on that tee, here are the best grosgrain ribbon color matches:

S Capri Blue
S Lt Navy
O Bluebird
White

These are all very good matches. Check back for an update in a week or so, when I will confirm whether these colors are true matches for the rest of the line.

I’m in love with this pretty Medallion dress by Hanna Andersson, so knew I’d need to make matching bows. This pattern makes a medium sized (about 3.5″ wide) bow that you can use for any variety of crafts or embellishment:

For the middle layer: cut 4″ lengths of each: Lt Navy 5/8″ wide grosgrain, Shocking Pink/White stripe 5/8″ wide grosgrain, and two 4″ lengths of Shocking Pink dot 7/8″ wide grosgrain ribbon

For the top layer: cut one 15″ length of Lt Navy 7/8″ wide grosgrain ribbon

Wrap center with O Pistachio grosgrain ribbon.

Color help:

S = Schiff brand grosgrain ribbon

O = Offray brand grosgrain ribbon
