Celebrate King Charles III Coronation with some unique handmade bunting that will have you standing out from the crowd!

The collection provides you with the patterns and charts for SIX different flags: Large Detailed Coronation Flag, Large 2-Colour Coronation Flag, Large Union Jack Flag, Small Detailed Crown Flag, Small 2-Colour Crown Flag, and Small Plain Flag.

The coronation flags are approximately 26cm wide at the top and 30cm long.

The union jack flag is approximately 24cm wide and 28cm long.

The small flags are approximately 19.5cm wide and 22cm long.

This pattern is worked in the round to give you a double sided flag - this gives your bunting flags more weight, so it sits better, particularly when putting it outside; it also means there are no visible wrong sides on display for the flags involving colourwork.
