Go, fly a kite bunting

Let’s go fly this colourful kite bunting. Shaped with easy short rows, the kite shape is knitted in garter stitch with an integral cast-on/cast-off curly tail. The bows are knitted separately and tied on. Finally, the kites are stitched into a strip to form the bunting.

Instead of making bunting you could knit a single kite to use up stash yarn. Each kite uses approx 30m of DK yarn and each bow approx 3m of DK yarn. Use it as a cloth, frame it and hang on the wall, or stitch to a bag, clothing, or a cushion.

Each kite measures 16cm wide x 18cm in height, not including the tail.
