Rainbow Glass Spectrum Afghan
This easy crochet pattern looks like someone cut off a piece of the rainbow and brought it into your home. The Rainbow Glass Spectrum Afghan is one of the most refreshing patterns you'll ever see. Even though it has a basic crochet tutorial, this is one of the coolest crochet afghan patterns with a rainbow color scheme. The different sizes of the stripes on this blanket almost give the illusion that they're moving across it, like a reflection through glass. You definitely don't want to pass this rainbow crochet blanket up.
