RAINBOW

My wife saw mini rainbow pillow in a knitting pattern book.  She asked me to make it.  Unfortunately, I do not know how to knit.  So, I had to come up with a crochet pattern for one similar.  Here is the pattern that I came up with.

MATERIALS:
Worsted weight yarn:  Red, orange, yellow, paddy green, delft blue, royal blue, lavender.
E crochet hook
Polyester fiberfill
Tapestry needle

RAINBOW:
Rd 1: With lavender, ch 24, slip st in first ch to form circle, ch 1, (sc in next 3 ch, 2 sc in next ch) around, join with slip st in first ch changing to royal blue.  (30)
Rd 2: Ch 1, (sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc) around, join with slip st in first sc changing to delft blue.  (36)
Rd 3: Ch 1, (sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc) around, join with slip st in first sc changing to paddy green.  (42)

Finish off leaving a long tail.  Fold RAINBOW in half.  Sew lavender edge together.  Begin sewing red edge together.  Before closing, add stuffing to RAINBOW.  Weave in ends.
