Mini Rainbow Bunting

Following on from my Rainbow and Rainbow Hearts pattern, 
I have one more colourful pattern for you, to help pass the time in 
these days where we all need to stay home.

This mini colourful bunting is quick, easy and very, very cheery!


As for the other two patterns I used Ricorumi Cotton, 
which is a DK yarn, and a 3mm hook.

You can use any yarn you may have to hand, of any weight,
 just use a hook size to match the yarn.

The pattern is written in UK terms.

For the bunting:

Row 1:  In VIOLET chain 2 and work 2 dc in to the second chain. CH 1 and turn.
Row 2: Work 2dc in to the first st and 2dc in to the last st. 4 sts. Ch 1 in INDIGO. Finish off VIOLET.

Row 3:  In INDIGO work 2dc in to the first st, dc to the last st, work 2dc in to the last st. 6 sts.
Row 4: Dc. 6 sts. Ch 1 in BLUE. Finish off INDIGO.

Row 5:  In BLUE work 2dc in to the first st, dc to the last st, work 2dc in to the last st. 8 sts.
Row 6: Dc. 8 sts. Ch 1 in GREEN. Finish off BLUE.

Row 7:  In GREEN work 2dc in to the first st, dc to the last st, work 2dc in to the last st. 10 sts.
Row 8: Dc. 10 sts. Ch 1 in YELLOW. Finish off GREEN.

Row 9:  In YELLOW work 2dc in to the first st, dc to the last st, work 2dc in to the last st. 12 sts.
Row 10: Dc. 12 sts. Ch 1 in ORANGE. Finish off YELLOW.

Row 11:  In ORANGE work 2dc in to the first st, dc to the last st, work 2dc in to the last st. 14 sts.
Row 12: Dc. 14 sts. Ch 1 in RED. Finish off ORANGE.

Row 13:  In RED work 2dc in to the first st, dc to the last st, work 2dc in to the last st. 16 sts.
Row 14: Dc. 16 sts.  

Do not finish off. Work another dc in to the last st and then continue on around in dc, working down the left hand side of the flag. Work 3 dc in to the stitch at the point of the flag and then continue up the right hand side of the flag. Join back to the beginning with a sls t and finish off.


Using any colour yarn, chain 20. Dc along the top of one of the flags ( Right side facing ) chain 10, dc in the second flag, and so on until all the flags are joined together, working 10 dc between each flag. After the final flag chain 20. Turn and work a row of dc all the way back along the chain. 
Finish off.
