Step-by-Step Pentagon Pennant Pattern

Pentagon Base

  1. Create a Magic Ring:
    • Make a magic ring and secure it with your finger.
    • Ch 3 (counts as a Dc).
  2. Round 1:
    • Inside the magic ring:
      • Work 3 Dc.
      • Ch 1 (separates groups).
    • Repeat [3 Dc, Ch 1] for a total of 5 groups of 3 Dc.
    • Tighten the magic ring by pulling the tail yarn snug.
    • Sl st into the top of the initial Ch-3 to close the round.
  3. Round 2:
    • Start in a Ch-1 space from Round 1. Attach yarn if you are changing colors.
    • Ch 3 (counts as Dc). Work 2 Dc in the same space.
    • Ch 1, then work 3 Dc, Ch 1, 3 Dc in each subsequent corner space throughout the round.
    • For the last corner space (half-completed due to the starting point):
      • Complete the remaining group of 3 Dc.
      • Ch 1, and Sl st into the top of the initial Ch-3.
    • Fasten off if changing colors.
  4. Round 3:
    • Attach the third yarn color to a corner space.
    • Ch 3.
      • Work 2 Dc in the same space (first corner group).
    • In each side space between corners:
      • Work 3 Dc.
    • In every corner space: Work 3 Dc, Ch 1, 3 Dc (corner cluster).
    • For the unfinished corner (at the starting point):
      • Work 3 Dc, Ch 1, and Sl st into the initial Ch-3.
    • Fasten off.
  5. Round 4:
    • Change yarn color if desired and attach to a corner space.
    • Ch 3 (first Dc).
      • Work 2 Dc in the starting corner.
    • Work 3 Dc into each side space, ensuring you follow the pentagon shape.
    • In each corner space: Work 3 Dc, Ch 1, 3 Dc.
    • Sl st at the end to finish this round.
  6. Round 5 – Border:
    • Attach yarn (use central color).
    • Ch 2, then work 3 Hdc into every corner.
    • For the sides: Work 1 Hdc in every available stitch.
    • Join in the top of the Ch-2 at the end using Sl st.
    • Fasten off. You now have one finished pentagon pennant!

Tassel Construction

  1. Using a Flat Surface:
    • Wrap yarn around a phone case or other hard surface 20 times (adjust for desired tassel thickness).
  2. Remove Carefully:
    • Slide the yarn off the surface while holding it together.
  3. Secure Middle:
    • Cut a small piece of yarn and tie tightly in the center of the looped yarn.
  4. Wrap Top:
    • Using another yarn piece, wrap tightly around the top, creating a neat “neck.” Tie securely and trim excess yarn.
  5. Cut Bottom Open:
    • Trim the ends of the tassel evenly to achieve a smooth finish.
  6. Attach to the Pennant:
    • Use the tail yarn to tie the tassel to the bottom corner of the pentagon.

Joining the Pennants into a Garland

  1. Chain:
    • Start with 30 Ch.
  2. Attach Pennant:
    • Place your crochet hook in the corner of a pennant, and work Sc across the top edge.
  3. Repeat Chain and Join Process:
    • After finishing one pennant, Ch 14 (for space) and join the corner of the next pennant using Sc.
    • Continue adding pennants until your garland reaches the desired length.
  4. Final Chain:
    • End the garland with 30 Ch, matching the starting side for tie-up balance.

Pattern Variations

Changes in Color

  • Single Color: Use one color for a uniform look.
  • Gradient Style: Use an ombre yarn for an elegant fade.
  • Personalized Combinations: Match event themes. (e.g., pastels for babies, red and green for holiday décor.)

Changes in Size

  • Smaller Size: Use thinner yarn with a smaller hook (e.g., 2.5 mm).
  • Larger Size: Use heavier yarn and larger hook (e.g., bulky yarn with 6 mm).

Tips for Success

  1. Ensure Accurate Stitch Count: Check symmetry between corners to retain shape.
  2. Use Stitch Markers: Mark corners for easy identification, especially on large rounds.
  3. Block Your Pennants: Steam block each pennant for a polished and smooth appearance.
