Hey guys, here’s how I made this crocheted bunting
with cross stitch letters.
I used red heart yarn.
I learned how to crochet a triangle
from a helpful YouTube video, which is linked in the description.
I used a 5mm crochet hook.
I left extra yarn at the end.
Place the yarn over the hook with the end facing toward.
Bring the end of the yarn to the back,
wrapping around the longer end.
Then, bring the longer end over to the front of the hook,
and pull it through the loop created.
This is a slip knot.
Bring the longer end over to the front again,
and pull it through the loop created.
This is the 1st chain stitch.
I made 18 chain stitches.
In the 3rd stitch from the end, I made a single crochet.
To do this, go through the stitch,
yarn over, and pull it through the loop.
Yarn over again and pull it through both loops.
Repeat this with each stitch.
When you reach the end,
make 1 chain stitch and turn it over to start the next row.
I tugged the yarn to keep it from curling.
Make a single crochet in each stitch.
Stop when you reach 2 stitches from the end of the row.
Go through the stitch,
yarn over, and pull it through the loop.
Then, go the the last stitch of the row,
yarn over, and pull it through the loop.
Yarn over and pull it through the 3 loops.
Make a chain stitch and turn it over to start the next row.
Repeat the steps until you reach the tip of the triangle.
At the end, I made a chain stitch,
cut the yarn, and pulled it through the loop.
Then, I made more triangles.
To cross stitch a letter,
I made a square in the center of the triangle, to use as a guide.
It had 6 holes in a row and 6 in a column.
I used graph paper to sketch out my letters.
Using a tapestry needle,
make an x, starting from the back.
After you make your 1st stitch, you can remove the tape.
On the back,
I brought the end of the yarn under a stitch and made a knot.
Then, I tucked it under a few more stitches
and cut the extra yarn.
I weaved the ends of the triangle along the edge.
Next, connect the triangles.
Make a slip knot
followed by whatever amount of chain stitches you want.
Go through the last stitch at the top of the triangle
and make a single crochet.
Go through the stitch, yarn over, and pull it through the loop.
Yarn over again and pull it through both loops.
Repeat this with each stitch.
I made 3 chain stitches.
Then, added another triangle.
At the end, I made 40 chain stitches.
I weaved the end back and forth a few times
and cut the extra yarn.
I did the same to the other end.
Then, I ironed the front and back
and here’s how it turned out.
This went well with my DIY crocheted pumpkins.
