Rainbow Of Hope Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

What is the Rainbow Of Hope?
 It began with Children drawing pictures of Rainbows and hanging them in their windows. When people went on their walks, they would see the Rainbows as a symbol of hope.
It has become a Fun hunt to find them, for the children.

The Rainbows continue to be a symbol of hope for all. 
They are popping up at Hospital windows, store windows, restaurant windows, coffee shops and many places of business, as a symbol that there is hope.

Several people reached out to me to make a Rainbow of Hope
 Crochet Pattern that they could hang on their doors or set in their windows. 

This is Hope
A Rainbow of Hope For You to crochet.

I Have also made a Free Coloring Page
For those who would like to color a
Rainbow of Hope.

Copy and  Paste and
 print as many as you like.
