Crochet a scrap triangle bunting with this free pattern. Easy to crochet and fun to make, this garland is perfect for every occasion!
Since I had quite a few scrap balls of DK cotton in different colors, I thought it would be fun to crochet some triangles and join them in a colorful bunting.
The leftover yarns that I had were mostly pinks and a few other pastels, so my bunting turned out very girlish and perfect to decorate a baby nursery or for a child’s birthday party.
However, you can use some bright colors or even the colors of your favorite sports team to turn this bunting into a decorative festoon for your living room.
For my scrap yarn bunting, I join eleven triangles for a total length of about 51″ (130 cm), but you can vary the number of triangles to customize the size of your garland.
