Blue sky bunting pattern
Make as many flowers and circles (or other decorations too) as you like to make the bunting longer!
I will give instructions for the original bunting.
My garland included:
3 Courage flower coasters
4 circle decorations
I used 8 ply yarn for all the decorations. I used a 4mm hook for the decorations and a 4.5mm hook for the bunting chains.
