Garland Flag Pattern

I had some ribbon that had been sitting in my yarn for a couple of years, waiting to be woven into a project. With warmer weather on its way, knitting with wool is much less appealing, so I pulled out the ribbon and made up this simple, playful garland pattern. It turned out to be a sweet spring project.

Materials Needed:
2 double pointed needles, size US10 - 6mm
1 crochet hook size 6mm
Any silk yarn or ribbon, 3 skeins (approx 500 ft)
