Easy Summer Crochet Bunting | Free Crochet Pattern
BBC Radio Northampton ask me to help encourage the local community to make bunting to help celebrate the upcoming Northamptonshire day which is traditionally held in September each year.
With the ever changing situation due to Covid-19, it is not known if the event will be held this year, but Helen Blaby, a presenter with the station decided to continue with the project, arranging virtual craft workshops delivered via Zoom, for people to craft together as they learned new craft skills.
This design was originally made in the colours of the county of Northamptonshire, but I have since made so really bright and colourful bunting flags.
