Decoration
Crocheted rainbow with suspension loop (crochéed in red). Each colour of the rainbow ends in a 13cm long fringe. The rainbow consists of a double layer of crochet. 6 colours.
Made by Ruth Melton, Swansea, during the Covid-19 pandemic. The maker crocheted rainbows for friends during the Covid-19 pandemic, using this original rainbow as the pattern design.
Rainbows became a symbol of hope and support for NHS workers during the coronavirus crisis, with homes, businesses and public buildings across Wales displaying rainbows on doors and windows in solidarity.
