Granny Heart Triangle Bunting – Free Pattern

After 2013, 2014 is going to be another year of weddings. I’m always quite excited when someone is getting married, especially when they’re close to me :) So after making cake toppers last year, I offered a good friend to help her with the decoration. With the confidence of one wedding item under my “belt”, I thought this one should be slightly easier to tackle. It might be possible be that I was slightly too optimistic on that front ;) So this time there won’t be cake toppers, I’m in charge of the bunting. Even though I’ve got still some time till the summer I thought that I should start early with the designs, then I’ve got enough time to make the proper big banner in the end. One of the banner elements is supposed to have a heart included in the triangle itself and after playing around with some yarn over the weekend I came up with my Granny Heart Triangle :). As Valentine’s day is approaching and I see more and more Valentine’s day patterns popping up I thought I’ll let this Granny Heart Triangle transform into a Valentine’s Heart Bunting for you to enjoy :)
