Happy St. Patrick's Day, friends! How cute is this little rainbow with the pot of gold at the end?! I whipped up this little pattern the other day and thought I would share it with you for FREE!
I love the bright happy colors in this little hoop. I made it in a 6 inch embroidery hoop, but you can enlarge or shrink the pattern to fit any size!

Step 3: Gather your materials
You will need:
- your Thread Unraveled pattern

- 6 inch embroidery hoop
- DMC thread skeins: #321, #742, #943, #383, #310, #729
- scissors
- needle
Step 4: Stitch the design
| Rainbow Arches | To create each arch of the rain bow, use a large chain stitch. Red row: use 12 strands of the red thread (DMC 321) Yellow row: use 12 strands of the yellow thread (DMC 742) Green row: use 12 strands of the green thread (DMC 943) Purple row: use 12 strands of the purple thread (DMC 3834) |
| Black Pot | Use 6 strands of black thread (DMC 310) to outline the pot of gold with a back stitch. |
| Gold Coins | Use 6 strands of the gold thread (DMC 729) to create the gold coins with french knots. |
| Clover | Use 6 strands of the green thread (DMC 943) to create the clover with a satin stitch. |
Step 5: Frame your embroidery
I love framing my embroidery in the hoop I made it in. I love seeing the finished product all neat and tidy in its' hoop. I’ve done some experimenting for framing embroidery in a hoop and the method I feel looks most professional and doesn’t put your embroidery at risk with things like hot glue is the FELT METHOD. And the best part is it’s EASY! Here’s how to do it in just 5 simple steps!
I hope you enjoy this free embroidery pattern! Share your creations on social media with #threadunraveled.
