There are many ways to bring cheerfulness and playful energy to your home. It doesn’t have to be a minimal pastel sanctuary, but it’s good to keep the interior quiet and have fun with accessories! For example, take a look at these rainbow crochet blankets!
A rainbow motif is one of the cutest and most vibrant out there, but you have many options on how to introduce it to the room. Go for a colorful crochet blanket if you need a pop of color – classic granny stitch or simple chevron will be enough to showcase beautiful yarns. Remember that you can always use subdued colors and make your rainbow more delicate. Take a look at the examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
