As you can imagine, I’ve been spending way more time on Instagram than I’d like to. I was already addicted to it, especially when it came to looking up new knitting patterns (and staying up-to-date on all the news pouring out of my favorite hashtag = #toefluff [you’re welcome]), but lately, it’s helped brighten my days with new ideas to salivate over and happy, bright colors, too.

That’s how I found a whole slough of boho crochet rainbows people made using a pattern available over at The Stitch Foundry. They were all so colorful and I loved that it had clusters and floofs and other fun design elements that I decided to spend a Sunday night indulging in a wee ickle project for myself.

As an added bonus, the rainbow has become a) a symbol of solidarity and support for healthcare workers, as well as b) part of the #rainbowhunt (seriously, check out the hashtag if you need cheering up). It should go without saying that I legit needed a rainbow in my window.

Fast-forward, and my rainbow (with all its glorious and tedious fringe) has been featured in an article on the Better Homes & Gardens website. Make sure to check out the post to see all the rainbows people have been making out in the wild.

Pattern: Boho Crochet Rainbow by Sharon Murphy of The Stitch Foundry

Yarn: Literally anything I had laying around. I think most of it was stashed scraps of Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn (that I’m looking for any excuse to get rid of because, well, Hobby Lobby is what it is.
