Step-by-Step Pentagon Pennant Pattern

Pentagon Base

Create a Magic Ring:
- Make a magic ring and secure it with your finger.
- Ch 3 (counts as a Dc).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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

Chain:
- Start with 30 Ch.
Attach Pennant:
- Place your crochet hook in the corner of a pennant, and work Sc across the top edge.
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.
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

Larger Size: Use heavier yarn and larger hook (e.g., bulky yarn with 6 mm).

Tips for Success

Ensure Accurate Stitch Count: Check symmetry between corners to retain shape.
Use Stitch Markers: Mark corners for easy identification, especially on large rounds.
