A Basic Level Knitting Pattern

The bunting pattern is easy to follow, knitting each triangle flat on straight needles.

Great for any beginners who are learning how to knit, as it is a great project for practicing garter stitch and learning how to increase.

Bunting flags are often seen made from fabric, fabric buntings made from cotton fabric are popular but knitted bunting is a great way to use up your yarn stash.

What size should bunting triangles be?

These bunting triangles are 6 inches/15 cm in length and 6 inches/15 cm wide.

You could easily adjust the size of the flags by casting on more stitches and knitting more rows.

How far apart are flags on bunting?

The flags are spaced around 5 or 6 cm/13/14 cm apart from each other.

2. Knit 3 rows in garter stitch (every row knit).
3. Next row and every following 4th row: K1, M1, K to the last st, M1, K1.
4. Repeat these 4 rows until you have 40 sts on your needle.
5. Knit 3 rows in garter stitch.
