Hey, yarn friends! As you may know, YarnCon is celebrating its 10th birthday this year. To get into the party atmosphere, we feel like decorating! This is where you come in.
Join us for our first-ever YarnCon KAL / CAL! We’re making bunting — you know, those fun little triangular flags you see at celebrations?
We thought it would be great to knit and crochet a WHOLE BUNCH of them and hang them up at our venue. And we’d like to invite you to knit and crochet along with us.
Some lovely designers on Ravelry have agreed to let us use their free designs, so choose one and get crafting!
Bunting Fit for a Queen by Vero Pepperell (knit)
Bunt Bunt Bunting by Shelley Husband (crochet)
Both patterns offer tips on gauge and choosing yarn, but don’t feel you have to conform to any particular flag size or weight of yarn. Use what you have on hand, what you think looks festive, or just what you feel like working with. This is purely for fun and celebration! The bonus is these little flags are super quick to finish. Show us your FOs on Instagram with #yarnconsbirthday!
The crafter who makes the most triangles just might go home with a special something from YarnCon. A small token of our yarny love and affection.
I want to knit bunting for yarncon! Sadly, I will not be able to attend this year. Where should I send bunting and do you want it pre-strung?
