Happy Tuesday my dear friends!
I'm back to my beloved crochet after few days of vacation in the beautiful Upper Peninsula in Michigan. I got the chance to spend time in the nature, walk beautiful trails and rest on peaceful sandy beaches on Lake Superior. We had gorgeous sunny days...and yes, the rain got us few times but that was just a bless because it gifted us with the most beautiful rainbow we have ever seen.
...and this is where I got the idea for today's free project!
I created these two cute Rainbows that would make a perfect wall decor for a baby nursery. Play with your favorite colors and yarn and create something unique!
Here's the FREE pattern!
