Hi all
My little grandson was watching me knit one day and asked me how come I had never knit anything for him. I asked him what he would like me to knit and he immediately asked for a sweater with a rainbow on it. I have been looking for a pattern for him, but have been unable to locate one. can anyone help?
thanks so much
Jean

Sorry, I have not come across one!

I just did some checking and when you look for "rainbow sweater" you get very colorful sweaters. I assume you are looking for a sweater pattern with an arch type rainbow. I haven't found one. Good luck, maybe someone on here can help.

Duplicate stitch a cross stitch pattern?

There was a children's character years ago called Rainbow Brite. She was for the girls but if you only used the rainbow part and did not put the doll and stars on it would be fine for a little boy, I think.

I tried to find one for a blanket for my GS, No Luck.

Yes, that is what I am looking for, a pattern with an actual rainbow in it. I thought about trying to cross stitch onto a sweater, but not sure I am talented enough for that. I am not too sure about my ability to knit a sweater with a rainbow either, but I am going to give it a try , if I can find a pattern.
thank you for looking

This looks perfect, with some modifications, are you able to share the pattern or direct me to a site where I could find it?
thank you
Jean

It is a Wendy pattern 2824. I have , unfortunately, had it for many years but I would think it is the sort of thing that could be found on e bay. It is designed by Joy Gammon. She did a lot of children's patterns. A book of her patterns again could possibly contain something that could be modified.

You can find clipart of a rainbow that you like and use this program to make a grid--here's one I made:
