Crochet Hanging Rainbow

Hook - 3.5mm

Yarn
Cotton 4 ply Weight in rainbow colours - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet with a different colour for joining and edging (I used pink)
I used Scheepjes Catona (this yarn is gorgeous if you have never used before!)
Construction
The rainbow will be made in a circle which will be folded over and the edges crocheted together. This means it can hang in a window and have the same finished look on both sides
