Rainbow Dreams Wall Hanging – Free Crochet Pattern

I bought this gorgeous roving yarn a while back, with absolutely no clue what I was going to do with it. It was just too pretty to pass up! After a while, I thought this yarn would be perfect to make a crochet wall hanging for my daughter’s room.

I would classify this crochet wall hanging as “advanced beginner”.

I hope you enjoy this free crochet pattern available here on my blog! An ad-free, formatted PDF version of this crochet pattern is also available for purchase here:

I used two balls of Lion Brand Wool Ease Roving Stripes to make this crochet wall hanging, and a dowel rod for hanging when it was finished.
