This curved banner is perfect for a photo props and weddings or to decorate a kid’s room or nursery. It features a fold-over design that hides ends, and flags are connected with a scalloped edge. Creative construction means fewer ends to weave in and scraggly ends on the back will be out of site.

Whether you’re a beginner willing to learn new skills or an experienced crocheter who wants to try some new techniques, you’ll have no trouble following these written instructions (no confusing charts). This pattern includes full-color photographs with instructions to make a garland you can easily personalize with the Uppercase/Lowercase Alphabet and Numbers/Punctuation patterns (available here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hijennybrown). Finished size will depend on the number of flags used, but individual flags are approximately 6.5” wide by 6.125” long (using supplies suggested)

This pattern includes:

  • Garland pattern
  • Pattern Details and Pattern Techniques pages with instructions and full-color photos
  • Attaching Letters guide, which includes techniques to appliqué motifs to your project

Feel free to sell your creations in your own Etsy shop or use them to decorate your craft booth.
