Materials

If you are new to crocheting and don't want to buy everything separately, i recommend to get a crochet Starter Kit with the main tools.

Yarn in the colors: white, yellow, rose, lilac, light blue

Yarn strength: DK, light worsted, number 3 yarn (120-150m/50gr) -> i used Milk Cotton Yarn

Embroidery needle -> i recommend get them in several sizes, with a blunt tip (so you don't split the yarn). You will need them very often in amigurumi: the bigger ones for sewing your pieces together and the smaller ones are perfect for embroidery or sewing smaller pieces.

Stitch marker -> i use these

Safety eyes: 8 mm -> i recommend to get them in a set with different sizes

Hook: 2.5 mm -> my go to and absolute favourite crochet hooks are these Japanese Tulip Etimo Rose crochet hooks. I use them all the time!

Tapestry needle -> i recommend get them in several sizes, with a blunt tip (so you don't split the yarn). You will need them very often in amigurumi: the bigger ones for sewing your pieces together and the smaller ones are perfect for embroidery or sewing smaller pieces.

Scissors or cutter -> if you prefer scissors i can really recommend these beautiful high-quality, vintage scissors

OR: If you prefer a cutter - like me - i really recommend this quick to grab yarn cutter

Stuffing -> i use this poly-fil stuffing, i recommend getting a larger amount, because in my experience it's used up fairly quickly

To get started, get your pattern on Ravelry or Etsy

Check out this super practical yarn bowl! 

I just got one and it's amazing! 

It's heavy enough to not move when i pull on the yarn and no more chasing of yarn that's rolling around in my flat.

Notes

The finished rainbow is approx. 23 cm wide. The clouds are crocheted in continuous spiral rounds and the rainbow is made out of two pieces, crocheted in the row. The pieces are then sewn together. The turning chains don't count as a stitch. Use the yarn and matching crochet hook of your choice. The result will be bigger or smaller, keeping the same proportions.
