Triangular Pennant Banner Knitting Pattern

Celebrate special holiday seasons with a Knitted Triangular Pennant Banner! Get creative with your yarn colors and design to festively celebrate any holiday. A string of triangle flag shapes creates this bunting garland decor that looks great both inside your home and outside by the grill.

My sample is in the colors of our United States of America flag with red, white, and blue yarns. This free knitting pattern includes my fun video tutorial that gives you an overview of everything you need to know to quickly knit it up.

Knitting a Pennant Banner

Let’s take a close look at our Pennant Banner Pattern, seeing exactly how those knits and yarn over increase stitches are knitted together to make this simple pattern.

Your triangle shape is knitted flat from the bottom up. Increase stitches on the right side of your work creates your isosceles triangle shape. You can easily modify the triangle size by knitting it up until it is the length you desire.

The two sides of your triangle have a pretty, airy eyelet border and the top is finished off by using the Stretchy Bind Off technique. This allows the top of your banner to lay flat without it being bound off too tightly.

Right and Wrong Sides

When knitting your pennant banner in just one color, it is a reversible pattern making it look great on both sides. However, if you are knitting stripes, it will NOT be reversible and you will have noticeable purl dash lines on the wrong side of your work.

STAR SHAPE EMBELLISHMENT

I added a little knitted Star Shape to my center pennant since this is a Patriotic themed banner. Check out my Star Shape knitting pattern and video tutorial to make one, too!

ATTACHING TRIANGLES TO MAKE PENNANT BANNER

Create your banner by attaching any number of triangles and in any configuration you wish. I connected mine with Ribbon and Yarn. I think Jute Twine would look really cool and rustic, too.
