I have a young friend who has chronic medical condition. She says that each day she isn’t in the hospital is a Rainbow Day. I made this set of 3 peg dolls for her.

The dolls definitely aren’t perfect. I used opaque paint but because my arcs aren’t smooth, I rather wish I had used watercolors for the rainbow. Some color blending would have obscured some of my wobbly lines. I haven’t figured out how to paint perfect margins. Painter’s tape is the logical solution, but these dolls are so small I’m not sure how that would work. I should it a try and see what happens!

The peg dolls all wearing knit gnome hats. The free pattern for them is on my Knit Gnome Hats for Peg Dolls post from May 2, 2019. The Rainbow baby is only 1 inch tall. I cast on 9 stitches, divided on 3 double pointed needles to knit that hat.

They are standing in a Grimm’s Blue Grotto Cave Arch! This wooden puzzle toy makes a great play place for all sorts of peg dolls.
