Everything you need for the Rainbow Kid Tee, minus the pattern. This kit is sized for the 3 month and 6 month sizes: 1 skein of Pride, hand-dyed assigned pooling yarn where the rainbow appears as you knit, plus 1 skein of Budapest as the solid contrast colour used for the ribbing.
The Rainbow Kid Tee is a baby and toddler raglan tee designed by Psychiaknits. The pattern is sold separately through Psychiaknits on Ravelry, this kit is yarn only. Read the story behind this colourway in our guest blog post by Psychiaknits, written while she developed the pattern.
This is a directional yarn: start from the marked end of the Pride skein and the rainbow motif appears exactly as intended. My video tutorials walk you through assigned pooling, and it works even if you've never tried it before.
