The smallest rainbow we crochet with this easy tutorial in just a few steps. The smallest crocheted rainbow is a nice hanger for a keychain or a mobile.
The smallest rainbow we start with a line of chain stitches and crochet from bottom to top in spiral rounds with only single crochet stitches. When your finished you can also attach a hanger to your rainbow.

cut the thread generous, pull off the loop
After you finished crocheting the rainbow, the upper edge will be sewn together. You can use therefor easily the thread end.
Stitch now always into the front loop of the front side and into the back back loop of the back side and sew together this way both sides.
This way you´re getting a nice seam. When the opening is just big enough, the rainbow will be filled and stuffed.
After all you only need to sew together the remaining opening and secure and wave in the thread end.
Now I can also congratulate to your first self crocheted rainbow and I hope you will visit us again next time!
