Colored into this free crochet rainbow pattern are all the magical moments of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations—a shy sun’s ray peeking out in the middle of a spring shower, the unexpected thrill of a rare rainbow sighting, and the accompanying feeling that maybe there is more magic in the world around us than we give it credit for.

Terminology:

This free crochet rainbow pattern uses English / US terminology:

• st (sts) = stitch (stitches)
• ch = chain stitch
• sl st = slip stitch
• sc = single crochet
• sc2tog = single crochet 2 together (over the span of 2 stitches), also known as a decrease
• sc3tog = single crochet 3 together (over the span of 3 stitches)

Please note that this pattern is written so that each crochet stitch abbreviation is attached to a number, such as 1sc, 2sc, etc. This number denotes how many of that stitch is to be worked into the same stitch.

In other words, 1sc = one single crochet, whereas 2sc = two single crochet worked into one stitch, also known as an increase.
