This holiday bunting is a fun, quick make that uses a very small amount of yarn. It’s loaded with texture making it very visually appealing. The individual pattern can be altered to make small, medium, large, or full-size motifs…you just stop after earlier rounds for smaller sizes. These also can be used as ornaments…they look absolutely beautiful hanging from a tree!
There are 11 total rounds. Each round is finished and fastened off at the end, so color changing is easy. 2 motifs need to be made, then slip stitched together and stuffed to make 1 ornament. The pattern calls for Colors A-D, but you can change up your colors any way you want…you certainly don’t have to follow that format. I would suggest that when your Color A is a darker color, using lighter colors with it makes the pattern stand out better. Likewise, when Color A is a lighter color, you might enjoy using darker colors as your other colors. I found that by choosing 8-10 colors and mixing up the order I used them in I was able to get a really cohesive collection of ornaments for my bunting.

Finished Size:
-Using Scheepjes Catona, a full-size motif is approx. 5” in diameter

Hook Size:
-Size 5/0 – 3.0mm hook

Yarn:
-I used Scheepjes Catona, because I love the huge color selection, but this is a perfect pattern to bust your stash! Any yarn will work…thinner weight yarn will make smaller motifs, bulkier yarn will make larger motifs. Real chunky yarn could make something as big as a unique throw pillow!
