I am just in love with buntings! They bring cheer and good vibes instantly to any space, and they are really simple and quick to make. I designed these for special occasions, and now you can crochet them too! Ideal as a last minute craft-gift idea, they can be stitched up in a few hours. The perfect decoration for wedding receptions, garden parties, birthday celebrations, maximalist homes or tiny houses and vanlifers for some extra cosy boho vibes. The aran yarn yield large, lacy floral ornaments that are very well visible from even afar, but are not awkwardly bulky. The airy lace structure makes it elegant, and you can fully customise the size and the colour of your garlands. So, I say, if you’re looking for a fun Netflix and chill pattern, this is the one!

They are usable both indoors and outdoors (keep in mind, longstanding exposure to strong sunlight will fade the colours). Machine washable, these buntings will serve you for a long time, and they are easily foldable for storage. Made of natural fibers so that once they reach the end of their long lives after years and years of loyal service, they can biodegrade back into the ecosystem.

Skill level: confident beginner, but an enjoyable project for more adanced crafters too.
