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.
