Christmas Bunting
Individually made, hand-knitted flags are crocheted together to make decorative bunting to brighten up your home for the festive season. Worked in stocking stitch (US stockinette stitch) with a garter stitch border, charted patterns are used to work the motifs. Complete the project by using the tail ends to sew an assortment of beads onto each point.

The pattern charts all the letters to spell out “MERRY” “CHRISTMAS” and “XMAS”. Photograph shows “XMAS”
