Instructions

You crochet the pennant back and forth in rows. Instead of making decreases, you skip the first stitch in the row. Doing it this way creates a better shape for your pennant.

1 rw. Cast on 11 chain stitches and turn the work

2 rw. 10 dc + 1 turning chain

3 rw. 10 dc + 1 turning chain

From now on you don’t make turning chains, instead you simply begin in the second stitch on the row.

4 rw. 9 dc

5 rw. 8 dc

6 rw. 7 dc

7 rw. 6 dc

8 rw. 5 dc

For the last rows, you make an extra row between the decreases – you therefore make a turning chain in every other row.

9 rw. 4 dc + 1 turning chain

10 rw. 4 dc

11 rw. 3 dc + 1 turning chain

12 rw. 3 dc

13 rw. 2 dc + 1 turning chain

14 rw. 2 dc

15 rw. 1 dc and finish with a slip stitch

Some would prefer to weave in the red ends now, but I prefer to do it after adding the gold lining. You can do it however you prefer.

Now, you crochet the gold lining on the pennant. Begin by casting on a stitch on your hook. Then you make a dc in the first row and hereafter you make a dc between each row. At the bottom tip, make 3 dc - then continue on the opposite side.

The bunting string

Now, you weave in all ends and assemble the pennants on a long row of chain stitches.

I have made 100 ch, and then make double crochet stitches along the top of the pennant – 15 ch – another pennant, and you continue like this until you have assembled all the pennants. Finish with 100 ch and 1 sl st.
