Be gay, knit hearts.

These mini pride hearts are quick to knit and are the perfect way to celebrate your identity! Sew a pin to the back to create a wearable piece, hang a ribbon from the top to make a Christmas ornament, or stuff with dried lavender and keep one in every drawer. Make some for yourself and all your queer friends!

Pattern Notes
Each heart is knit from the bottom up in the round. The tops of the hearts are knit separately, and the last round is cinched to create the rounded top. You can add stuffing to make the hearts more 3D, or you can leave them flat and turn them into pins, ornaments, or a garland. Any stripe pattern can be used, but specific patterns are given for the following flags:

  • Rainbow (Philidelphia)

  • Trans
