A knitted bunting pattern with three triangle styles in one PDF download. Happy Days Bunting is worked in DK weight yarn on 4mm needles and is a thoroughly satisfying stash buster. Small amounts of yarn across three colours means those oddments lurking at the back of the basket finally have somewhere to go.

The pattern includes three versions: plain stocking stitch, garter stitch, and striped intarsia, with a full colour chart for the striped triangles. Any DK yarn works well, though do check your tension against the pattern gauge. Cotton DK gives a particularly neat finish.

Triangles are sewn to ribbon and finished with decorative buttons, two per triangle. Planning a baby shower? Coordinate your yarn colours to the nursery theme and swap the buttons for something with ducks or stars on. Easy to follow, clear instructions, and quick to knit up.

Three yarn options are suggested across different price points, so there’s something whether you’re reaching for the stash or starting fresh.
