I first made this hanging rainbow during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. Rainbows are often used as symbols of peace and hope. During the lockdown period people put rainbows in their windows so they would be visible to those walking past outside.

Friends asked for the pattern and so I created this file to help others create their rainbows. Please forgive any mistakes - it’s a first attempt at pattern writing!

The pattern is free - but I would ask you to consider paying it forward in your local community. Share love and positivity - but not the virus!
