I’ve been thinking a lot about gratitude recently and as part of that I’m starting a new Gratitude Program. I’m offering a free pattern of your choice for every $25 spent on my Ravelry patterns. Past purchases on Ravelry definitely apply! I wrote a blog post explaining the program here. Happy knitting!

ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Be You tee is a classic top-down raglan tee with a slight scoop neck and a simple 6-stripe rainbow. The tee includes waist and hip shaping for a flattering fit. Written in 8 sizes for fingering weight yarn. Named Be You because the rainbow can be personalized to whatever 6 colors you like.

For me, my neon rainbow is a badge of honor as a straight ally and a safe, friendly face. 50% of the proceeds from the sale of this tee pattern will be donated in perpetuity to the ACLU to help defend LGBTQIA+ rights. And my personal message is this – You are not alone. I care. A lot of people care. I am a straight ally. I am safe. And I will stand in the gap.
