Rainbow & Clouds cross stitch pattern
A six-band rainbow rising out of two clouds — big blocks of solid colour and nothing fiddly.
Free, with no account and no watermark. Opening it in the editor gives you your own copy — recolour it, resize it, or export a symbol PDF.
Before you start
Work one band all the way from cloud to cloud before you change thread. Six long runs is a far shorter evening than six colours swapped every few stitches.
Floss list
Every colour is real DMC. Tap one for its hex, RGB, Anchor match and nearest shades.
188 stitches in total. One skein of each colour is far more than enough for a pattern this size.
