Surface Crochet Basics Video Tutorial

Sew or glue onto the project. 

‘Fall’ Surface Crochet

The trick to mastering surface crochet is keeping your tension even, not to tight and not to loose. 

Use the surface crochet technique we learned on the heart applique to crochet the word ‘Fall’ on your bunting flag. 

Choose a color that contrasts with your flag color. I chose to use a charcoal gray. 

You may have to start and stop a few times to get the letters to look correct.

Assembly Instructions

If you haven’t done so already, glue or sew your appliques onto the flags. I chose to use hot glue because it was faster and just as sturdy. 

To join them together in a line, decide on an order. You can copy mine or choose your own. 

Line them up in order, ch 25 with your chosen joining color.

Then sc across the top of the flag furthest to the right, *ch 10, sc across next flag. Repeat from * across all flags. Ch 25 after end of final flag. 

To change the spacing of your flags do more or less chains between and at the beginning and end.
