So I used drops Paris, and a size 5 hook, you don’t need a massive amount of yarn, so it’s a great yarn busting pattern, and they don’t take especially long either 🙂 so a great Begginners project 🙂 pop over to my facebook page for a chance to win some of your own 🙂
Look at all that wool…. I’ve been making lots of interesting things for the run up to the make do and mend fair at the Ageas bowl on the 5th October so I’ve not posted on here for a while, sorry about that 🙂
STAR bunting pattern
Aran weight yarn, size 5mm hook (pattern is in American crochet terms)
Stitches used: double crochet, single crochet, chain and slip stitch
Variations: if you want more pointed stars chain 2 on the final round between the 3dc
Ch5, slip stitch into the first chain to create a loop.
Ch3, 2dc into the loop, *ch2 3 dc into the loop* repeat between * 3 more times, you should end up with 5 clusters in the loop, ch 2 slip stitch into the top of the ch3 stitch from the beginning of the round.
Ch3 2dc into the same ch2 space, *3 dc chain2 3dc into the next ch2 space* repeat between * 3 more times. 3dc in the space you started in ch2 and join with a slip st into the top of the ch3 from the beginning of the round.

For the bunting string
Chain 10 slip stitch into the first chain to create a loop, chain 20 and attach star with a slip stitch into a chain one space, chain 15, attach star… And so on till all your stars are attatched…. Chain 20 pop in a stitch marker on the chain closest to the hook, chain 10 and slip stitch back into the marked stitch. Weave in ends.
