Hello friends, it's been a while again since I last posted but here we are at last and with a new pattern to share with you. My Ditsy Daisy granny square has been so popular I thought why not use it to decorate your home. So my granny square became a triangle and the triangle became this pretty daisy buntiing and who doesn't love a bit of bunting?
The perfect way to add a touch of colour and cheeriness to your home, or a childs room and I have made an acompanying video tutorial to work alongside the written pattern.

Other notes: I used Stylecraft Special Aran in colours Baby Mint, Baby Pink, Fondant, Cream, Saffron, and Aspen to make my bunting. Depending on what type of yarn you have used you may be able to dry block your pennants by simply placing on a blocking board and leaving overnight. Alternatively, they may be wet or steam blocked. You can make as many pennants as you wish to adjust the size of your bunting. I made 9 and my finished bunting measured approx 128 inches (325cm)
