Crochet Watermelon Bunting
Helloooo, July!
Well...it's been awhile to say the least. I apologize for the radio silence over the last few months. Sometimes a little quiet is necessary and I am always so thankful to come back to this space. In celebration of the blog starting up again and a new month ahead, I created this quick and fun crochet watermelon bunting pattern for you! Watermelon is truly an essential ingredient of summer. It wouldn't be the Fourth of July without a bowl full of watermelon slices to pass around during a fireworks show. I hope you enjoy this pattern!
