Quick and Easy Crochet Bunting

Everyone loves bunting right? well how about crochet bunting? I’m going to show you a super quick and incredibly easy way to crochet your own cute little string of happiness!  I chose red, cream and black for a Mickey Mouse/Minnie Mouse/Cruella De Vil theme, I think it fits in perfectly with my logo and Minnie ears!

Sometimes we have the need to crochet something to fill the gap between big crochet projects.  Which doesn’t take too much brain power, whilst at the same time keeps our hands busy.  If this is what you’re looking for, then this is the perfect little project for you.

This little Granny Triangle bunting is also perfect for beginners.  It doesn’t take too much concentration once you’ve completed your first triangle.

Notes: You can make more triangles to increase the length of your bunting and also add another round, for a larger triangle.

 

You will need:

Yarn  DK / light worsted weight 

Crochet Hook: 4mm

Tapestry Needles

Scissors

Yarn: 

Any DK / light worsted weight is fine, but I used Stylecraft Special DK for my finished bunting ~ please note that I used different colours for my photo tutorial, as the stitch definition of the cream and black isn’t very good in photos.

Ok, Lets start!
