This wall hanging is part of a series of mini wall hangings. It is an easy, beginner friendly Intarsia crochet piece that brightens any room. Since this wall hanging is smaller, it can easily be added to an existing gallery wall, or be placed in a smaller space.

This Mini Rainbow Wall Hanging (and its siblings) are cheerfully hanging over my kids’ art table. Each wall hanging in this series would look lovely in a child’s room, but the Rainbow Wall Hangings are extra joyful for the play area or reading nook.

Materials

Yarn

• Yarn Bee True Colors, bulky/category 6 (5oz, 76yds), 100% acrylic

• You need 3 different colors to complete this individual wall hanging. The yardage needed per color as follows…

• MC (Ivory) - 12yds/11m, CC1 (Light Blue) - 9yds/8m. CC2 (Pink) - 12yds/11m, CC3 (Purple) - 5yds/5m

• Substitutes : Any other bulky (category 6) yarn will work. I suggest trying Lion Brand’s Hometown yarn for the closest feel. If changing the yarn, be sure to check gauge.

Crochet Hook - 8.00mm or correct hook to meet gauge
Scissors
Tapestry Needle
Measuring Tape
6” Dowel Rod (3/8” diameter), or a stick from the backyard

If you cannot find a 6” dowel, you can cut a 12” dowel in half. Use the second half to make another mini wall hanging, Do not cut the dowel in half until you finished the wall hanging, and make sure the wall hanging will fit on the 6” dowel. Use your judgement to cut the dowel to your desired width.

Extra piece of yarn, twine, or crochet thread for hanging

Gauge and Finished Size
9 STS x 9 Rows = 4” x 4” square
Use the Single Crochet to create the gauge swatch.

Finished Size

Experience Level = Beginner
You will need to know how to Single Crochet before you begin.

Features
This is the 3rd of 4 Mini Wall Hangings to be released Spring 2021. Each wall hanging can be placed together, or worked separately. If you’re interested in working more than one of the wall hangings, I suggest buying 4 different colors of the same yarn, 1 skein of Yarn Bee True Colors is enough to make all 4 wall hangings.
