Modular Progressive Pride Flag

***£1 from every pattern bought, will go to The Trevor Project!*** Using the same method as the popular Northeasterly by Skeinanigans, Kim has adapted the technique to include joining pieces on the right and left side of your work! Working join-as-you-go, this awesome Modular Progressive Pride Flag has no seams to bother with, which makes it really rather addicting to knit. In a world where there are still so many injustices toward Trans people, BIPOC & POC, this is a great way to show inclusion. Show your support for the LGBTQIA+ community by making a massive one for your chair/bed or a small flag to hang in a window. They also make GREAT capes for pride marches! Share on IG: #modularprogressivepride and #alterknituniverse **Sizes:** Depending on the yarn you use, you can change the size of your finished flag. The pattern was written with 2 sizes in mind. The big version is made with DK yarn. (The mini version is made with 4ply yarn). **Finished Approx Measurements:** You can make your flag longer by casting on more stitches when you start the rainbow side. BIG in DK: 32inches x 42.5inches (from edge of white to tip of black 25.5in) SMALL in 4ply: 14inches x 16inches (from edge of white to tip of black 8in) **Gauge in Garter Stitch:** Gauge Approx 16st and 32 rows = 4” in garter. (Approx 20st x 38 Rows = 4” in garter) **Suggested Needle Size:** (as always, use a needle size that will get you closest to gauge. Luckily this isn’t a fitted garment so if it’s a little bigger or smaller, you don’t have to worry!) 5.5mm (2.75mm) You can do the whole project with 1x 120cm (60cm) circular needle But I do recommend short dpns for the icord. You will also need some lockable stitch markers. **Yarns:** We highly encourage you to use whatever yarns you want! Feel free to mix bases and colours too - as long as they are all the same thickness, you’ll be golden. In my prototype I used scraps, striping multiple dark blues for the blue section. There are also loads of indie dyers that do pride flag sets, and supporting LGBTQIA+ makers is another way to celebrate Pride.
