So I have decided to make something bright and colourful to light up my summer! So with a quick trip to the wonderfully amazing store of
I found this amazingly RAINBOWTASTIC yarn!


This is a Red Heart Comfort Brand.
It's a medium weight yarn 

(4), best used on 4.5mm or 7 US knitting needles, or a 5.5mm crochet hook. 
The yarn is machine washable, but must be washed in a delicate cycle with lukewarm water. It is also machine dryer safe on a delicate cycle.

The ball itself only cost me $10.14 (with tax included) for a 340 g/12 oz ball which holds 593 m.649 yds, although the price may vary depending on where you purchase it from. 
The material used in the yarn is 100% acrylic.




The pattern I used is SUPER easy! Anyone could do it!

The wrap itself has what's called a "salvage edge" which basically means there's a boarder. 

YOU CAN USE ANY YARN FOR THIS PROJECT!
Though you might have to up your needle size, depending on the weight.

I used the yarn above, and size 6.5 mm circular or round needles.
