You can let your imagination run riot with the colours you choose! .  It’s a basic ‘Granny’ triangle with the sides elongated, Isosceles rather than Equilateral!

Round 2: Join next colour in any ch sp, work 2 ch(stands as 1^st tr) 2tr,2ch, 3tr. In next ch sp work 3tr,2 ch, 4 tr. In last ch sp work 4tr, 2ch, 4 tr. Work 1 tr in 1^st ch sp, join with ss into top of starting ch. Fasten off.

Round 4: Join in 1st colour and work 1 round dc working 3dc in each corner and point. Fasten off.  Darn in ends.

Make tassels by winding yarn round three fingers about 12 times. Tie off at one end leaving a tail to stitch with, and again short distance below 1st knot. Cut loop. Make one for each  ‘flag’ and stitch to bottom point.

Join each ‘flag’ with a few stitches in the corner and sew a pretty button on the join.

If required crochet a chain loop or tie on each end of the bunting for fastening.

I hope you enjoy this crochet bunting pattern, and maybe even use it as an excuse for a carnival!
