To make this garland, you just need to crochet graduation caps and attach them to a string. This project is also a wonderful stash buster project as it requires very small amounts of yarn.

For this garland, I used a crochet Graduation Cap applique pattern that I designed earlier for a handmade graduation card. The pattern is free and you will find the link below in the Pattern I used section.

How to Make Crochet Graduation Garland

Directions:

Make all the pieces.

For my garland, I made five graduation caps. You can always make your garland shorter or longer and adjust the number of pieces as needed.

Five crocheted graduation caps and crocheted string.

2. Crochet a chain about 47” long (the length of the chain will depend on how long you want your bunting to be). Leave on each end about 5-7 inches for tying the bunting, then arrange the pieces.

3. Using a sewing needle and matching thread, sew each piece to the string.

I hope you enjoyed this crochet graduation garland idea!

Happy Crocheting!
