Designed for International Women’s Day, this knitted banner uses basic colourwork techniques to create the slogan GRL PWR.

This design is really straightforward and we’ve got lots of videos, tips and how to’s over on our knitting knowledge page. Plus the pattern comes with both written and grid work versions, so you can follow the one you find easiest.

Your options are endless with colour choices, whether you’re going to add pompoms or not, or even what to hang it from!

If you’ve got the yarn at home then you can get going straight away, it should take you a couple of hours from start to finish, and you’ll just need to be creative with what you’ll hang it off!
