You can find it here: http://rowntreeparkblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/knitted-bunting.pdf
But you can knit squares if you'd rather - we're asking for 15cm squares so we can join them together.

Don't feel constrained though, you can let your imaginations run riot. In fact we'd like you to - a bird or a flower would be just as good! Or you may have a wild and wacky idea to try.
Here's a link to the guidelines for the event:
