Christmas Craftertime Part 6: Christmas Tree Bunting Tutorial

Hi all! Below is a pattern I've just made for some Christmas Tree bunting, enjoy!

Using green wool (this is dk and the crochet hook is 3.75mm)

Round 1: Chain 3, 2 double crochet (DC) in to first chain, 3 chain, 3 DC, 3 chain, 3 DC, 3 chain and join to first DC.
Round 2: Chain 5, *3DC in to next 3 chain space, 3 chain, 3DC in to same space, 2 chain*, repeat twice and join to initial chain
Round 3: Chain 3, 2 DC in to next space, *2 chain, 3DC in to next space, 3 chain, 3DC in same space, 2 chain, 3DC in to next space* repeat twice and join to initial chain
Round 4: Chain 5, *3 DC in to next space, 2 chain, 3DC in to next space, 2 chain, 3DC in to next space, 3 chain, 3DC in to same space, chain 2* repeat twice and finish off yarn, weave ends.

See pictures for more detail!
Round 1
Round 2
Round 3
Make as many as you need! I made three as the hanging place wasn't that wide.
Add decoration, I added sparkly white wool (kinda like snow?!), and  my partner said they needed baubles, but not till after they were hung and its too late now!
To hang as bunting either chain a long enough row of wool, or leave a length of wool, measure up your space and sew the trees on at the top point. I used pins to keep them in place when figuring out where they should go.
Yey!
And they are in action! 
Christmas has come to our windowsill!
Merry Christmas!
