Easy Rainbow Knitting Patterns

If you want to spread a little cheer to someone you can’t visit or to your neighborhood, why not knit a rainbow to put in a window? It’s a sweet gesture that reminds us that we are not alone in this and that there is always a rainbow after the hard times are over.

I found a couple of cute free rainbow knitting patterns, but owuld love you to add links if you have a pattern you love.

Knit By Post has an easy little rainbow knitting pattern that starts from the outside edge and is shaped with decreases. It’s a circle that you then fold in half to make into a rainbow.

This super bulky rainbow by Erin Black is worked flat in two pieces and seamed at the end. The pom-pom clouds are extra adorable. If you don’t have super bulky yarn try two strands of worsted held together.

I hope these patterns bring a smile to your face!

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
