This medium sized knitted rainbow is quick and easy. It is made as a circle from the outside in and then folded in half when finished.
Made with oddments of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet double knitting yarn. 3mm single pointed needles were used. It is about 13cm from red to violet and 26cm at the widest when finished. If you want a slightly larger rainbow you could use slightly larger needles or try the Large rainbow instead. You will also need toy stuffing.
Abbreviations : k – knit. st – stitch. tog-together.
Rainbow – Make 1
Fold in half when finished. It is possible to half the number of stitches and make 2 if this is too big for the needles, so you would cast on with 80 instead of 160 and follow the pattern as described.
With red, cast on 160 sts
