This is a pattern for making LGBTQIA+ Pride-themed hats.

The hat(s) are one-size-fits-most, knit in DK (or you can use worsted-weight).

The instructions aim to cover a range of colour combinations based on various pride flags.

While the patterns do not cover all the LGBTQIA+ identities, they do cover many of the most common ones, and should be further adaptable to others.


Currently includes colour combinations for the following identities:

  • Abrosexual
  • Agender
  • Asexual
  • Aromantic
  • Bear
  • Bisexual
  • Gay
  • Genderfluid/Genderflexible
  • Genderqueer
  • Graysexual
  • Intersex
  • Lesbian
  • Non-binary
  • Pansexual
  • Polyamorous
  • Polysexual
  • Transgender

Notes:

† Charts for the π and ring symbols have not been tested. These symbols can either be incorporated by knitting (intarsia recommended) or by duplicate stitch (a sensible option).

§ This set of patterns is very much a labour of love. It is available for free and always will be.

Update (2020-07-19): Pattern updated to include the colours for Bear Pride!

If you downloaded the pattern prior to this update, you may want to download the new version (v4).


Update (2019-12-27): Pattern updated to remove extraneous empty page, and update instructions and charts to centre symbols relative to crown decreases for a more symmetric look (so I can stop feeling twitchy about it).


Update (2019-12-26): Pattern updated to include charts for the π and ring symbols (for the Polyamorous and Intersex pride hats, respectively), as well as a second option for the Bisexual pride hat.
