How to crochet flower bunting
Start with a slip knot and ch 2. Put 2 dc in the 2nd chain from hook.
Ch 1, turn. Put 2 dc in 1st stitch, and 1 dc in the next (you will now have 3 stitches in total).
Ch 1, turn. Put 2 dc in the 1st stitch, 1 dc in the next, 1 dc in the next (you will now have 4 stitches in total).
*Ch 1, turn, put 2 dc in the 1st stitch, and put 1 dc in the rest of the stitches along the row.
Repeat from * to end until you have 40 stitches in total along the row.
Cut and fasten off. Sew in your loose ends.
Make more triangles! I blocked my triangles to stop the edges curling up. Click HERE for a guide to blocking your crochet.
For the flowers:
Start with a slip knot and chain 5. Look for the furthest chain from the hook and do a sl st to join your 2 ends together to make a circle.
Chain 2, pop a stitch marker in chain just under the hook, and do 11 tr into the circle.
Join the circle together with a sl st into the stitch after where your stitch marker is, and change colour at the same time.
Ch 2, and do 4 tr into the same stitch. Put a sl st in the next stitch.
*Do 5 tr in the next stitch and sl st in the next stitch*
Repeat until you have 6 petals.
Finish off by doing a sl st into the last stitch. You now have a crocheted flower!
Make more flowers and sew / glue them onto the bunting triangles.
How to join crochet bunting together
Start with a slip knot and ch 10. Sl st into the furthest ch from your hook to make a circle; you can use this circle (hoop) to hang your bunting onto a hook or a nail in the wall.
Sl st into the first stitch of one of the corners of your bunting triangles.
Continue to sl st all the way along the top of one of your triangles. When you get to end of one of the triangles, continue to sl st along the next triangle….until you have added all the triangles.
When all the triangles are added, chain an extra 10. Join to the furthest ch from your hook with a sl st (to make the other hanging hoop). Cut and fasten off. Sew in your loose ends.
I hope you’ve enjoyed making your crochet flower bunting as much as I enjoyed designing it!
One of my favourite things about this pattern is how easy it is to personalise. You can change the colours to match your home, make a shorter length for a shelf or mirror, or keep going and create enough bunting to decorate a whole room.
