Rainbow Connection is a perfect pattern for using self striping yarns or bits of leftovers! You will use a solid/tonal for Color A, and then for Color B you can go as crazy as you want! Use a self striping and let the magic of it do the work for you, or grab some left over bits of yarn and switch it up as often as you want. Have fun with this one and let the different colors brighten up your day!
