Trim all ends to a neat angle or point. Attach Pennants to braid with the x- large triangle in the center and then in any order you would like. I attached mine by stringing yarn strands through each corner and looping the strands through the back of the braid, double knotting the strands and then trimming them. Hang pennant on the wall and Enjoy! Note: You will have plenty of yarn left to make some adorable matching washcloths, hats, booties, ect... Or you can make additional Pennant Triangles to extend your pennant, but remember you'll want more ribbon.
