You guys, I can’t get enough rainbow! Rainbow dots just make me feel so happy! I just love how this rainbow stripes hat turned out.
It’s got offset rows of rainbow dots on a pretty heather gray background. This would really cute with a white background too, I might have to make another one.
I went with hot pink, orange, yellow, grass green, teal blue and purple, but you can adjust any of those colors to your preferences, just as long as you use 6. Wouldn’t it be pretty in pastels too? Actually now I want to make one of those too! Geesh! This post is getting me into trouble, I need more projects, like I need a hole in my head!
