Yarn and Colors Rainbow Flag Line Crochet Pattern – Decorative Bunting in Epic Yarn

The Rainbow Flag Line is a cheerful and colourful crochet decoration pattern designed by Yarn and Colors. Inspired by the natural beauty of a rainbow in the sky, this pattern invites crafters to create a vibrant, festive flag line stretching a total length of 3 metres, making it a striking decorative piece for both indoor and outdoor settings. Whether draped across a mantelpiece, strung along a garden fence, or hung at a celebration, this rainbow bunting brings a burst of colour to any space.

What Is Being Made

The finished project is a decorative flag line — a style of bunting or garland — made up of a series of individual geometric crochet motifs joined together by a continuous crocheted cord. The flag line features four distinct geometric shapes:

• Squares
• Triangles
• Pentagons
• Hexagons

Each shape is worked in vibrant rainbow shades, carefully chosen to replicate the natural spectrum of a rainbow. Together, the motifs are held in place along a crocheted cord — described in the pattern as "held together by the rainbow itself" — creating a cohesive and eye-catching decorative garland with a total finished length of 3 metres.

Techniques and Construction

This pattern is classified as beginner level, making it an ideal project for those who are new to crochet or looking to practise working individual motifs. The construction approach involves crocheting each geometric flag piece separately and then assembling them along a joining cord. This modular method — working individual shapes and joining them — is a popular crochet technique that allows for great flexibility in colour placement and project length.

Working geometric motifs such as triangles, squares, pentagons, and hexagons is an excellent way for beginners to build confidence with shaping in crochet, as each piece is small, manageable, and quick to complete. The variety of shapes also introduces crafters to working different stitch counts and increases to achieve the correct geometry for each flag.

Stitches Used

While the PDF does not exhaustively list every stitch, crochet flag line patterns of this construction type typically make use of fundamental crochet stitches. Based on the beginner difficulty level and the geometric motif style associated with Yarn and Colors designs, crafters can expect to work with core stitches such as:

• Chain stitch (ch) — used for foundation chains and the joining cord
• Slip stitch (sl st) — used for joining and finishing
• Double crochet / Single crochet — the primary stitch for building the fabric of each motif
• Increases — used to shape the triangles, pentagons, and hexagons correctly

Materials – Yarn and Hooks

The pattern is designed specifically for use with Yarn and Colors Epic yarn, an aran weight yarn from the Yarn and Colors brand. The shades selected for this project are drawn from the Lookbook Rainbow collection, representing the vibrant spectrum of rainbow colours. Epic is a well-regarded yarn known for its smooth texture and broad colour palette, making it particularly well-suited to colourful, decorative crochet projects like this flag line.
