Mr and Mrs Bunting by Loopsan

What is Being Made

Mr and Mrs Bunting is a decorative crochet project designed to create festive bunting flags perfect for celebrations, weddings, or home décor. The pattern produces individual flags measuring approximately 17.5 x 20 cm (7 x 8 inches) each, allowing crafters to create a customizable garland by making multiple flags and stringing them together.

Craft and Techniques

This project uses crochet as the primary construction method. The pattern is classified as beginner difficulty level, making it suitable for those new to crochet who want to create decorative items. The design employs a double strand working method, which adds structure and visual interest to the finished flags.

Stitches Used

The pattern utilizes fundamental crochet stitches appropriate for beginners:

• Chain stitch (ch) – used for foundation and shaping
• Double crochet (dc) – the primary stitch for building the fabric
• Treble crochet (tr) – used for textural variation and detail work

Materials and Tools

The pattern calls for Rowan Pure Linen yarn in four complementary shades, each 100% linen with 50 g/130 m/142 yd per ball:

• Shade 389 Sahara (A) – 2 balls
• Shade 391 Kalahari (B) – 2 balls
• Shade 388 Arctic (C) – 2 balls
• Shade 394 Arabian (D) – 1 ball

The linen yarn provides a natural, breathable fiber ideal for decorative bunting. Two crochet hooks are required: a 4mm hook (used for the main fabric and gauge measurement) and a 5mm hook. Additional tools include a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and scissors for finishing.

Gauge and Sizing

The pattern specifies working with a double strand to achieve a gauge of 20 stitches and 16 rows in double crochet, measuring 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) using the 4mm hook. Achieving proper gauge ensures each flag reaches the intended dimensions of approximately 17.5 x 20 cm (7 x 8 inches).
