Crochet Sunflower Bunting Pattern

Crochet Sunflower bunting! A quick and easy free pattern for a beautiful home decoration that will bring some summer chic to your home or garden.

I have wanted to work with twine for a while. It has a natural, rustic feel that should be worked into crochet more often.

It can be a little bit difficult to work with, you need to find the right project. I tried with bulkier twine and it really gave my hands the cramps.

Not one to give up! I found some twine in 2 ply and found that it would be perfect for the edging and rope for my bunting!

This works up really quick and you can make a really generous length to your crochet Sunflower bunting with just 7 triangles.

Easy, breezy!

With just 5 rounds to complete each Sunflower this is a pattern that a beginner familiar with basic stitches could complete with ease.

I have made quite a long length in this pattern 2.5 metres to be exact. You can make it shorter or longer just make

numbers – 1 for the centre and your preferred number each side.
