Jocelyn made the original concept for this design, and Claire looked at it and thought “this would be perfect for Pride flags”! Claire made a basic six-stripe version of the rainbow Pride flag for a silent auction for their choir, Philadelphia Voices of Pride. After that, Claire was hooked, and worked through the numbers for three- to seven-stripe Pride flags while knitting six additional samples. The samples that Claire knit were chosen to show a variety of Pride flags that O-Wool has the colors for, but these patterns can be used with whatever colors you want to create your Pride Flag Cowl. This is sort of a “Choose Your Own Adventure” pattern - we have five different stripe options, and four different sizes that can be achieved by adjusting your gauge. And of
course you can choose the colors that best represent your Pride flag.

SKILLS REQUIRED: knitting, slipping stitches, increasing, decreasing, changing colors
