As I post weekly pride patch patterns on Patreon, here’s a monthly round-up for non-subscribers!
Folks who need help with materials, stitching, finishing or attaching patches should check out my tutorial master page.
Previous patterns are available at my pattern gallery.
Notes on Pattern Structure
Full coloured blocks indicate a full cross stitch. Letter outlines indicate backstitch.
Blocks divided on the diagonal by a line of backstitch, each half a different colour, indicate quarter stitches. Please see my first text tutorial and my pride text tutorial for more information on backstitching outlines and placing quarter/fractional stitches.
Space for edging your patch is not shown in the patterns below. You’ll need to allow additional blocks for this when cutting your swatch, depending on how narrow or thick you like your edges.
Aro Patch Pattern – Ten Block, Upper Case
The five-stripe “aro” pattern fits a rectangle 32 stitches wide and 14 stitches high. Assuming a three stitch border, as for my other patches, this means you’ll want a 35 x 17 block swatch plus any excess (if used unmodified).
Aro-Ace Patch Patterns – Ten Block, Lower Case
The five-stripe “aroace” and “acearo” patterns fit a rectangle 61 stitches wide and 14 stitches high. Assuming a three stitch border, as for my other patches, this means you’ll want a 64 x 17 block swatch plus any excess (if used unmodified).
Aro-Ace Patch Patterns – Ten Block, Upper Case
The five-stripe “aroace” and “acearo” patterns fit a rectangle 62 stitches wide and 14 stitches high. Assuming a three stitch border, as for my other patches, this means you’ll want a 65 x 17 block swatch plus any excess (if used unmodified).
Electio Patch Pattern – Ten Block, Upper Case
The five-stripe “electio” pattern fits a rectangle 54 stitches wide and 14 stitches high. Assuming a three stitch border, as for my other patches, this means you’ll want a 57 x 17 block swatch plus any excess (if used unmodified).
Thelo Patch Pattern – Ten Block, Upper Case
The five-stripe “electio” pattern fits a rectangle 42 stitches wide and 14 stitches high. Assuming a three stitch border, as for my other patches, this means you’ll want a 45 x 17 block swatch plus any excess (if used unmodified).
The pixel-style “aro” and “aroace” patterns use my five-stripe aro alphabet and can serve as a base for making your own custom five-stripe text patterns. They can also be added to my bisexual, gay, lesbian, queer and trans patterns!
My ten block “aroace” pattern can be combined with both electio and thelo patterns.
