Product Description
*This listing for the PDF pattern only*
This Halsey Rainbow Top is inspired by Halsey’s pregnancy announcement. Which she did with a picture of her in a crocheted rainbow top. Rainbow in pregnancy is related to the concept of a “rainbow baby”, the baby that is conceived after a miscarriage. With that in mind I wanted to create this top as a sign of honoring and celebrating those mommies expecting their rainbow baby. Furthermore, for anybody that loves the happiness, love and hope that rainbows represent.
With this pattern you will be able to make it in sizes: Small, Medium or Large.
Made with worsted weight yarn. 4.5 mm hook.
Stitches included: - Slip Stitch - Single Crochet - Extended Half Double Crochet - Double Crochet - Back loop only

Halsey Rainbow Top Crochet Pattern by Shashis Stitches
What Is Being Made
The Halsey Rainbow Top is a crocheted garment inspired by celebrity maternity fashion and the meaningful concept of "rainbow babies"—babies born after miscarriage. This top celebrates hope, love, and happiness through its rainbow colorway design. It is suitable for anyone who appreciates vibrant, symbolic knitwear, whether expecting a rainbow baby or simply drawn to the positive symbolism rainbows represent.
Design Inspiration and Significance
This pattern honors the tradition of rainbow baby celebrations while creating a wearable piece of art. The design draws from a pregnancy announcement featuring a crocheted rainbow top, making it both a fashionable garment and a meaningful statement piece for expectant parents and rainbow baby families.
Crochet Techniques and Stitches
The Halsey Rainbow Top uses fundamental crochet techniques appropriate for beginner-level crafters. The primary stitch used throughout the pattern is the double crochet (DC), which forms the main fabric structure.
- Double Crochet Placement: All double crochets are worked around the previous row stitches, specifically between the double crochets rather than into the stitch itself (unless otherwise specified in the pattern). This technique creates a distinctive texture and drape.
- Chain Stitches: The foundation of the top begins with chain stitches, which are adjustable based on desired size, allowing customization without complex pattern modifications.
Sizing and Customization
The pattern is written for a medium size but offers straightforward sizing adjustments through chain stitch variation:
- Small: Chain 12
- Medium: Chain 15
- Large: Chain 20
This simple adjustment method makes the pattern accessible for various body sizes while maintaining the same construction method throughout.
Materials Required
Yarn: Any worsted weight yarn is suitable for this project, allowing crafters flexibility in fiber choice and color selection for creating the rainbow effect.
Hook: A 4.5mm crochet hook is required to achieve the correct gauge and fabric drape with worsted weight yarn.
Skill Level
This pattern is rated as beginner-friendly, making it an excellent choice for those new to crochet or looking for a straightforward project. The use of basic stitches and simple sizing adjustments keeps the construction process manageable while producing a beautiful, wearable result.
