Show Your True Colors With 10 Rainbow Crochet Patterns

Rainbows are one of the most beautiful natural phenomenon, so it’s no wonder that we love to recreate them in our crafts. They are bold and bright, colorful and inspiring, fun for projects that are designed for all ages. The rainbow symbol itself is great for appliqués, garlands, and decor, but the colors of the rainbow can be used in all types of different ways to create garments, blankets and accessories of every kind.

Here are 10 rainbow crochet patterns to express your true colors!
