Dora’s Pin Banner

Are you a pin addict? Wondering what to do with them when you’re not wearing them? With this crochet pin banner / pennant pattern you can enjoy them every day! The great thing about a crochet banner is that the holes are built in by design so no wrecking the material with the pointy bits like on some fabric banners! Skill Level: This is a super simple quick and easy pattern using single crochet (US) and a few slip stitches. Perfect for a beginner. Materials: This uses a relatively small amount of yarn - around 50g of worsted weight in the item pictured. The pattern will work with any yarn thought so this is ideal for stash busting! For the bar I used a chopstick but a knitting needle, doweling or a stick would work make great options. Sizing: The item pictured measures 9in wide by 14 in long from tip to tab but it is very easy to resize to suite your need. Gauge is not important but the stitches should be made fairly tight so the weight of the pins does not distort the shape of the flag I hope you enjoy this pattern, and as always, don’t forget to tag me in your finished makes!  I’d love to see your projects, here on Ravelry or other socials!
