Knitted Bunting

(Use knitting needles a size up than is recommended)

I used Double Knit yarn with 4.50 mm Knitting Needles

Cast on 3 stitches
Knit three rows

Next row :: Knit 1, pick up loop between the two needles and knit, knit 1, pick up loop between the two needles and knit, knit 1

Knit 3 rows

Next row :: Knit 1, pick up loop between the two needles and knit, knit 3, pick up loop between the two needles and knit, knit 1

Knit 3 rows

Next row :: Knit 1, pick up loop between the two needles and knit, knit 5, pick up loop between the two needles and knit, knit 1

Continue this way until you have the length you want.

After the last increase knit 3 rows

(count the stitches - this Bunting was 35 stitches wide - make more Bunting to match)

Either :: cast off loosely*

Or :: put the Bunting onto a 100 cm circular needle (same size as knitting needles)** (break a long length of yarn)

*If you cast off loosely follow this ~

Cast on 5 stitches - knit in Moss Stitch to length required.

Sew the Bunting evenly across the length of knitting

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**If you you have put the Bunting onto a circular needle

Cast on 10 stitches, knit in Moss Stitch across the first Bunting, cast on five stitches using the yarn from the next Bunting then break yarn leaving enough to sew in ends, knit in Moss Stitch. Continue this way until you have knitted across all the bunting, cast on 10 stitches.

Knit 3 rows back and forth in Moss Stitch. Cast off loosely in Moss Stitch

Moss Stitch

Row 1 - knit 1, Purl 1, Knit 1, Purl 1, Knit 1

Row 2 - knit 1, Purl 1, Knit 1, Purl 1, Knit 1
