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!

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.”

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them.

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits.

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves.

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit.

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.
