Leaf Crochet Pattern: **I made my leaves in 2 different colors. 2 leaves will be attached to each flower**
Step 1: Starting with a long tail of yarn (about 2”) ch 15.
Step 2: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next st, hdc in next 2 st, dc in next 2 st , trc in next 2 st, dc in next 2 st , hdc in next 2 st , sc in next st, 2 sc in last st.

Repeat for each flower.
Step 2:
Cut a long piece of rope or cable about 8” – 10” (or as long as you desire) for your bunting string. This is what you will use to hang your flowers on. You can also crochet a long foundation single crochet chain instead of using a cable or rope.
Step 3:
Weave your bunting string through each loop made on the flower.
Step 4:
Measure 4” from the beginning and end of your bunting string and place a stitch marker in each place.
**this will give you enough string on each end to attach your bunting to a nail or hook placed on the surface the bunting will hang from.**
Step 5:
Evenly space your flowers apart on your bunting string.
Step 6:
Using your twist tie or a small piece of yarn fasten your flowers in place.

Hang your bunting to your wall, fireplace, tree, or any place you like.

Today I am SO excited to be sharing with you the Nellie Poncho Free Crochet Pattern!

Fringe
Fringe (Optional)
Cut pieces of yarn 10”-12” long
Use 2 strands of yarn for each section of Fringe. If you want a heavier Fringe add more pieces of yarn to suit you.
Put the ends together and create a loop that can be threaded into the edges of the Poncho. Knot pieces of Fringe onto the Poncho. This will give you 4 strands of yarn to create the Fringe.
You can use your crochet hook to pull the loops through the edges of the Poncho and then thread the fringe through the loop. Pull tight to create your knot. Make sure to pull the loop in the same direction. This helps all of your knots to match.
Neck Border (Optional):
Switch to H or 5 mm Hook
Attach yarn in any stitch along the Neck Opening, slip stitch, chain 1 and sc in the same stitch. sc in each stitch around.
For a Smaller Neck Opening, add 2-3 more rows of Single Crochet.
