Knitting Pattern - Merry Christmas Banners
Description
These festive banners show off your holiday spirit. Bright and bold, they display a cheerful “Merry Christmas” greeting. The banners are constructed using double knitting, and feature a checkered pattern on the back. There is also an option to knit them using the more traditional double knitting technique, resulting in the reversed pattern on the back.
The finished size of the “Merry” banner is approximately 5.5” (13.97 cm) by 38” (96.52 cm). The finished size of the “Christmas” banner is approximately 5.5” (13.97 cm) by 51” (129.54 cm).
Note: This is note a typical double knitting pattern. The back and front are different, so this design is fairly complicated. If you would like to try a simpler double knitting design first, I suggest my Fire Dragon Scarf or another simple double knitting design.
NOTE: This listing is for a knitting PATTERN ONLY, not a finished product.

I love cute sheep patterns, being a knitter and spinner. I’ve never seen a pattern quite like this before. What an imagination. Thanks so much to a very talented seller of unique knitted items!
