This is a very fun pattern to work up! Bobbles are essential so grab your favourite colors and lets get working! This Rainbow is going to be used in a St Patrick’s Day project – this is the first of a 3 part series! Check back tomorrow for more information.

This pattern is great as a standalone also. Work it up to hang in your kiddo’s room or a classroom. So many uses for a rainbow in this world. Enjoy!

Pattern Notes:

This pattern works up from the center of the rainbow out to the edges. It uses 6 different colour swaps and you can easily adjust the pattern to fit the color pallet of your choice. We went the traditional route and used this in our St. Patrick’s Day Pot o Gold pattern. Enjoy!
