What do you do when you want to make a fall bunting banner but don’t like how any of the crocheted acorn patterns look? You design your own. I absolutely love Fall! It’s by far my favorite season. Crisp fall leaves, sweaters, boots, trips to the pumpkin patch, the beautiful colors, I love it all! So of course, I wanted to make a fall bunting banner to hang across the mantel in my house. I have seen a few patterns out there for one, but I ended up not liking how any of the acorns looked, so I decided to design my own. I am quite pleased with how it turned out. I also decided to use Painted Hinge’s crochet leaves, as well. You can find the links for her patterns at the bottom of the page.
