These Pennants are knit flat from the wide edge to the tip. An I-Cord edging is added after the main Pennant has been completed. I-Cord ties are sewn to the wide edge at the end. In the 3 Color Colorblock and 2 Color Colorblock Pennants, colors are changed using the intarsia method. Use a separate ball of yarn for each section. When changing colors, bring the new color up and around the old color to prevent holes from forming in the work. In the 3 Color Stripe Pennant, cut colors at the end of each stripe and weave in ends.

Any of the Pennants can be modified to use your own team colors! The 3 Color Colorblock Pennant uses C1, C2, and C4. The 2 Color Colorblock Pennant uses C1 and C4. The 3 Color Stripe Pennant uses C1, C3, and C4.
