**Singular Monopoles from Cheshire Bows**

Singular monopoles are
nonabelian monopoles with prescribed Dirac-type
singularities. All of them are delivered by the Nahm's
construction of monopoles. In practice, however, its
effectiveness is limited to the cases of one or two
singularities. We present an alternative construction of
singular monopoles formulated in terms of Cheshire bows. To
illustrate the advantages of this bow construction we obtain
an explicit expression for one $U(2)$ gauge group monopole
with any given number of singularities of Dirac type.
