The Lazy Hobbyhopper: Halloween bunting

I have a free pattern for you - after a long time. Of late I have been designing only amigurumi and I'm loving it. Before starting my next doll pattern I thought I would design something free for you and since it's the Halloween season what else can I think of other than a Halloween themed pattern? I chose to make a bunting since it is the best way to include as many Halloween characters as possible in one pattern. I made 8 triangles.

Joining the triangles

I used black yarn in heavy worsted weight and G/4.00 mm crochet hook. You can use any yarn and hook. Make chains long enough to accommodate all the triangles. Sew the triangles to the chains one after the other leaving about an inch between each triangle.
