Mini Rainbow Knitting Pattern
"I love spotting pictures of rainbows in people's windows, as they're a thank you to key workers and medical workers in the UK during the pandemic. I really wanted to join in too, so here's a knitted mini rainbow pattern. I displayed mine in my window and put some on trees near my house for other people to enjoy. The mini rainbows can be knitted in DK yarn or chunky yarn, and amounts of yarn needed are listed in the pattern. This project is easy and quick to knit, if you know the basics. "
