You’ll find many ways to use this fun trio of Rainbow crochet patterns. The three sizes are perfect for a variety of projects. Small: 4.75” x 3”; Medium: 10” x 5”;Large: 14.5” x 8.75”.

Project Ideas: Work any size rainbow as a motif for an afghan. Make a small rainbow for a colorful refrigerator magnet – just glue a small piece of flexible magnet to the back. Sew 2 medium rainbows together and stuff with poly fill for a child’s adorable stuffed toy. Attach a key ring to the small rainbow for a cheerful decorative touch to a key chain. The small and medium rainbows both make great appliques. Applique the large rainbow to a pillow. Sew 2 large rainbows together and stuff to create a unique pillow. The possibilities are endless!
