Crochet the Triangle Flags
Step 1: Start the triangle
With Color 1, chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to the first chain to form a ring. Work the first round into the ring, making double-crochet clusters separated by chain-3 spaces. These three chain-3 spaces become the corners of the triangle.
Step 2: Build the triangle
Continue working in rounds, placing 3-dc groups into the side chain spaces and corner groups into the chain-3 spaces. The side spaces help the triangle grow evenly, while the corner spaces define its three points. Change to Color 2 where the color plan calls for it.
Step 3: Finish the flag
Complete the final round, join neatly, fasten off and weave in the tails on the back. Gently flatten the flag and check that all three points are balanced before you add the pompom.
Triangle Stitch Chart
Use the chart below to keep the chain spaces, slip stitches and double-crochet groups in the correct positions. The stitch key explains the symbols used in the triangle.
Step 4: Make and Attach the Pompoms
Wind Color 1 around three fingers 125 times. Slide the bundle off carefully and tie it tightly through the center. Cut through both sides of the loops, then trim the yarn until the pompom is round and even. Sew one pompom to the point of every triangle.
Step 5: Join the Triangles into the Garland
- Arrange the finished flags in the color order you want.
- With Color 1, chain 20 to create the first tie.
- Work across the top edge of the first triangle, making 1 sc in each dc and chain space.
- Repeat across the top of the remaining triangles, keeping the flags evenly spaced.
- For the second row, chain 1, make 1 sc in each chain across, and fasten off at the end.
Finishing and Display
Trim any remaining yarn tails, check that the flags all face the same direction and gently smooth the fabric. Then hang your crochet bunting across a wall, shelf, patio, party table or reading corner. Keep handmade decorations away from open flames, and secure them safely around children and pets.
