Happy 67th Independence Anniversary To Ghana- Let’s Crochet The Ghana Flag
Hello everyone, I’m just here to celebrate my country’s 67th Independence Anniversary. I’m from Ghana in West Africa. I believe we’re mostly known for our food, rich culture, mineral wealth and of course the people. We celebrated our 67th independence anniversary yesterday(6th March). For my personal celebration, I made the Ghana flag as part of my “zero waste” project where my plan is to make use of all my leftover yarns. I just knew by the time I finish my mom would take it and truly, she did.
Most of the time she sends my crafts to school to inspire her students. I actually like it that I get to inspire kids through my crafts. I think that’s top tier.
The materials I used were:
• Red, yellow , green and black yarn
• 1.60mm crochet hook
• a pair of scissors
• a needle
I started by making 25 chains with the red.
My country’s flag has the red, yellow and green colors with a black star in the middle of the yellow.
I then made five rows of double crochets with the red yarn.
The red stands for the blood our forefathers shed in their fight for the country’s independence.
I changed the color to yellow and also made five rows of double crochets.
The yellow signifies the mineral wealth in the country. The ideal colour is actually gold.
I now switched to the green yarn, attached it and made five rows of double crochets.
The green represents the rich vegetation in the country.
I then made the star in the flag with the black yarn. I started by making 2 chains and then made 5 half double crochets. I now chained 6 and then slip stitched in the second stitch, single crocheted, half double crocheted and double crocheted into the third, fourth, and fifth stitched respectively. I repeated this four times and made the star.
The star signifies the freedom and unity of Africa against colonialism.
I now sewed the star in the middle of the gold with the needle.
I was done with the Flag.
Even though my country isn’t where we want at the moment, I believe we’ve come a very long way and I am very proud to be a Ghanaian. Thank you for your time.
Happy Independence Day to you @abenad and to all Ghanaians. That flag looks good for sure. it would be fun to have all of the needlework people create small flags of all the countries for a collage of needlework flags :)
Thank you
Ohhh that would be a really nice project
I’m sure other needleworkers would be glad to collaborate with me for that
Happy independence to you and to all Ghanaians. You designed the flag perfectly.
Thank you

Happy birthday to your great country. It has produced really great people such as you.

Happy independence day to all Ghanaians, I love the flag colors, you a very great work, well done dear
Thank you
You make this crocheting stuff look real easy but I know it's not. Anyways this looks real nice and I hope you keep blessing us with nice pieces like this.
This statement reminded me of one passenger at work. We were sharing chocolate and he said there is nothing to be proud of about ghana lol.
He proceeded to say we are not moving forward as a country and I can't help but agreee with him.
Thank you
Yeah I mean it’s true but we just have to thank God for life for now
Hopefully we get better
