Cute And Easy Crochet Rainbow Ideas

Looking for a rainbow after rain is one of the favorite things we do, no matter our age. Rainbows are symbols of joy, hope and new beginnings. Especially now, when we face new challenges due to the vastly spreading illness, it’s very important to keep our head up and look to the future with hope.

These amazing crochet rainbows are really easy to make, so you can make a bunch of them in almost no time and on top of that, they require very little yarn, so those projects are a great way to use any leftover one you’re hiding somewhere in the corner of your home.
