Looking for a fun and vibrant way to brighten up your breakfast table? These Rainbow Pancakes are sure to add a pop of color and fun to your morning routine! Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, want to make a weekday morning more exciting, or simply enjoy a colorful treat, these rainbow pancakes are the perfect choice.

Imagine a stack of fluffy, soft pancakes bursting with every color of the rainbow—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple—each layer more delicious than the last. Not only are they a feast for the eyes, but the light, fluffy texture of the pancakes makes them just as delightful to eat.

These rainbow pancakes are a wonderful idea for kids’ birthday parties, a whimsical weekend breakfast, or even as a surprise treat for your loved ones. Plus, they’re a fantastic way to get creative in the kitchen and bring a bit of color to your day.

Fun Facts About Rainbows:

  1. Rainbows Aren’t Just for Rainy Days: While we typically think of rainbows appearing after a rainstorm, they can also happen when the sun is low in the sky, such as during the early morning or late afternoon. They form when sunlight is refracted, or bent, through water droplets in the air.

  2. Seven Colors in a Rainbow: The classic rainbow has seven distinct colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The mnemonic “ROYGBIV” is a helpful way to remember the order of the colors.

  3. The Science of a Rainbow: A rainbow happens because sunlight is made up of light waves of different colors. When sunlight hits a water droplet in the atmosphere, it bends and spreads out to create the spectrum of colors we see.

These Rainbow Pancakes are as magical as they sound! They’re a fun way to get kids excited about breakfast (or any meal) and are sure to make any day feel like a celebration. Get ready to stack them high, add your favorite toppings (maybe some whipped cream or fruit for even more color), and enjoy a beautifully colorful treat that’s almost too pretty to eat.

Click here for the full recipe and instructions on how to create your own rainbow pancakes. You can’t go wrong with this cheerful, eye-catching breakfast that’s just as tasty as it is fun!

Super Fun Colorwork Socks to Knit

When I knit socks (which sadly I have not done in a while; need to get a new pair on the needles soon!) I generally stick to pretty simple designs and colorwork that isn’t all that detailed. 

Don’t get me wrong, I love a fancy sock, I’m also just pretty lazy and I figure a project worked on size 0 or 1 US needles is going to take a long time even without the added work of intricate colorwork, so why make it more complicated?

But there are definitely socks out there I’d be willing to make an exception for, and I think Tangled Bliss by Annette Schleicher may just be one of them. 

If you can’t tell from looking, this is decidedly an advanced knitting pattern. There’s brioche for the cuffs, complex looking colorwork done with the ladderback jacquard technique, multiple charts, and colors changing everywhere. 

There are links to tutorials for all the special skills in the pattern, but still it would help to have a handle on these concepts before you get started. 

The pattern uses three colors of light fingering weight yarn at a whopping 31 stitches per 4 inches/10 cm (that’s 7.75 stitches per inch/2.5 cm). 

Would you believe me if I told you that this pattern was designed for a speed knitting contest? Speed would be the last thing on my mind. 

But again, I think all the work for these fancy socks would be worth it. I love hoe the colorwork looks like an old tile floor, and think of the bragging rights when you tell people you made them yourself. (Though of course you did; have you ever seen store-bought socks that look anything like this?)

Best of all, this pattern is available for free on Ravelry, so there’s no reason not to give it a try if you’ve got the skills. If you do, I’d love to hear about it!
