Free Knitted Bunting ~ PDF pattern

I wrote this bunting pattern in 2013 for Simply Knitting and The Knitter, and we took it to the Spring Knitting and Stitching Show for a workshop.  I wanted to design a simple bunting pattern for beginners, to teach the basics all in one session and give them something to work on at home.

I attended the show and was available to help anyone who felt like joining in. We provided a space for new and experienced knitters to have a rest and do some knitting, and in the process met some lovely people.

We ran workshops for four days using this knitted bunting pattern as a starting point for beginners to learn the basics. The pattern covers casting on, working garter stitch (knitting every row), working eyelets, making left and right leaning decreases, working a central double decrease and fastening off.

Knitted bunting seems to be pretty popular at the moment, it’s cute and makes a great party decoration.  My friend used my set at her wedding, I decorated my desk at The Knitter with it, and it now hangs in my daughter’s bedroom.

If you like this pattern please consider purchasing something from my Pattern Store or buying me a coffee!
