Have you seen the colourful bunting that’s used for parties in Call The Midwife? I’ve been dreaming about crocheting colourful bunting for years but haven’t found the right crochet pattern. So I designed one!

Party Bunting combines textural crochet stitches with beautifully shaped triangles that flutter in the wind.

Imagine rows of crocheted bunting hung for parties and celebrations, adorning craft rooms or even in children’s bedrooms. It adds fun whether it’s made in a single colour, different or embrace the scrappy look and use whatever is in your stash. How cute would a teeny-tiny Party Bunting look hanging in a dolls house?

Originally released as the 2025 Advent pattern, Party Bunting is great for using with a yarn advent calendar, yarn selected for the pattern or simply some bits and pieces from your stash. Why not make bunting with the leftover yarn from crocheting a blanket?

In this pattern you’ll find:

• get ready – all the introductory information for successfully crocheting Party Bunting
• crochet chart – easy to refer to while crocheting
• progress worksheet – keep track of where you’re up to and what you’re using
• crochet pattern – written instructions of what to do

I hope you enjoy crocheting the Party Bunting pattern and make many of them over the years!

yarn size
The Party Bunting pattern is easy to customise and is a great stash-busting project too! The pattern covers 10ply (worsted weight) and 4ply (fingering weight) yarns, but it can be easily made with any sized yarn and in any colours, including stripes.

colour inspiration
There are many ways to play with colour in this pattern! Here are some ideas:

• solid: do all the flags and the joining row the same colour
• repeating: give the bunting a nautical feel or make it in your team colours by repeating the colours, and use a coordinating colour to join them together
• different colours: make each flag a different colour and join them together with a neutral colour
• stripes: do each row a different colour, or do rows 1 & 2 one colour, rows 3 & 4 one colour, etc
• scrappy: use leftover pieces of yarn and change colours when the yarn runs out
