Across the country, colourful rainbows are popping up in windows as a sign of hope to communities and a way to say thank you to NHS workers. In these unprecedented times, the knitters and crocheters of the world have also responded by whipping up colourful creations to display in their homes.
We adore the cheerful look of a rainbow-themed colour scheme and believe the rainbow trail should not stop with window displays! So here we present a colourful array of rainbow-themed makes that are so adorable, by the time quarantine ends your house will be a festival of cheerful shades!
