Materials for Crochet Christmas Bunting
The granny triangles are not only easy to make but are also a great way for to use up yarn scraps.
I used Sirdar Stories, a DK weight (light worsted) yarn. You’ll also need a 3.50 mm crochet hook and a yarn needle to weave in those loose ends. You could use other yarn weights, just make sure to use a matching hook size.
Cotton yarns are best for their durability and vibrant color options, but acrylic yarn would also work well.
Choosing Colors for your Crochet Bunting
I have included the full list of colors I used below in the materials section. You could chose 5 or 6 festive holiday shades and it will look amazing for a Christmas garland.
You could also make bunting with theme colors for any occasions – birthdays, weddings, baby showers, the color combinations are endless!
I made 9 triangles that were joined together with single crochet stitches. A short crocheted chain made a hanging loop on each side.

Joining the Triangles
Join the triangles as follows: Using any color yarn, ch 20, sl st into the 1st chain to form a hanging loop. Holding the 1st triangle with the right side facing, work 1 sc in the corner ch-2 sp, 1 sc in each st across, 1 sc in next corner ch-2 sp – 25 sc
Taking the next triangle, * work 1 sc in the 1st corner ch-2 sp, 1 sc in each st across, 1 sc in next corner ch-2 sp; repeat from * until all the triangles are attached. Ch 20, sl st into the 1st ch made, to form a 2nd hanging loop. Fasten off and weave in all threads.
Tassels
- In contrast colors of your choice, use a small notebook approx. 3 – 4” in width.
- Cut a 12” length of yarn, and lay across top of book – this will be used to tie top of tassel.
- Wrap yarn around book approx. 10 times (depends how thick you like your tassel)
- Using the 12” tie, knot top of tassel tightly. Cut tassel at opposite end.
- Cut another length of yarn and wrap around tassel 0.5” from top 3 times and knot ends together.
- Trim if needed and attach to the bottom of each triangle, sewing securely.
- I trimmed my tassels to measure 3”
How to Care for your Crochet Bunting
To keep your precious crochet Christmas bunting looking its best year after year, a little TLC goes a long way. Store your bunting in a cool, dry place, preferably in a cloth bag to prevent moisture and dust buildup.
If it needs freshening up, a gentle hand wash with mild detergent will do the trick. Lay flat to dry and avoid direct sunlight to maintain those vibrant colors.

Merci d’avance.

I don’t have a chart. If you do a search for crochet granny triangle, you will find one to help:)
Love this! I am going to make one in our team colours for our tailgate tent!
Thank you!
That makes me so happy! Thank you so much for your lovely comment
Love this adorable pattern for my classroom! Please will you advise how to make the triangles with only one color?
Thank you! Instead of changing color each round, you will need to slip stitch over to the next chain-3 space, and start the next round there. It will make sense when you try it:)
