Free Knitted Bunting pattern

Simply Knitted Bunting
The Spotted Sheep

Bunting is always a really fun little project to do!
It’s a great way to use up left over bits and bobs from your stash, or colour co-ordinate it with new yarns. Bunting is perfect for any occasion, but works especially well in an English garden in summer, birthdays, weddings, high days or holidays, in fact use it any way you like!
This is a pattern for simple garter stitch bunting in dk or chunky, garter stitch has 2 advantages 1) it doesn’t curl at the edges and 2) it looks good from either side! Size 19cm x 19cm.

Abbreviations: yo – put the yarn at the front of the work before you knit the next stitch ( this creates a hole and an extra stitch) k2tog – knit the next 2 stitches together as if one stitch (decreases by 1 stitch)
