Sometimes you just have to wear your PRIDE! These three triangle sister shawls are in honour of Pride Month and my LGBTQ2S+ folks. These 6 and 5 stripe shawls are intended to be highly customizable to show off your favourite Pride Flag colours. I have used the Philadelphia Pride Flag and the Trans Pride Flag in my samples. If you need assistance adapting the patterns for your favourite pride flag, please reach out and I can assist! As a queer autistic educator who is dedicated to supporting Social Justice, inclusion and diversity, 20% of all sales will go towards initiatives supporting LGBTQ2S+ youth.

NOTES:

  • For pattern support, please email wolfandfaunknits@gmail.com
  • This pattern is highly adaptable to suit your personal expressions.
  • The border lines between stripes can be the same colour as the stripe (shown in size small sample) or contrast (black contrast stripes shown in large sample). 

  • Gauge and tension will affect the yardage of the yarn. Due to variations in personal knitting, and to avoid a game of yarn chicken, I recommend gathering more than enough yarn to complete the project in case you end up needing slightly more. I typically make sure I have 10% more yarn than the pattern calls for to make up for waste yarn or needing more due to my personal gauge and tension.

Please be sure to follow me on my website, Facebook and Instagram pages for updates and exciting offers.

Thank you to my wonderful testers and my tech editor RhyFlower Knits. Your talent makes this pattern possible.
