Pride Patch Patterns: February 2022

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.

Demi Patch Patterns – Ten Block, Lower Case

The triangle and five-stripe “demi” patterns fit a rectangle 40 stitches wide and 14 stitches high. Assuming a three stitch border, as for my other patches, this means you’ll want a 43 x 17 block swatch plus any excess (if used unmodified).

Fray Patch Pattern – Ten Block, Upper Case

The five-stripe “fray” pattern fits a rectangle 34 stitches wide and 14 stitches high. Assuming a three stitch border, as for my other patches, this means you’ll want a 37 x 17 block swatch plus any excess (if used unmodified).

Square Flag Patch Pattern – Four Stripe, Demi

The 16 x 16 four-stripe, demi-rhombus and demi-triangle square flag patterns fit a square 16 stitches wide and 16 stitches high. Assuming a three stitch border, as for my other patches, this means you’ll want an 19 x 19 block swatch plus any excess (if used unmodified).

Unit Patch Pattern – Ten Block, Upper Case

The five-stripe “unit” pattern fits a rectangle 30 stitches wide and 14 stitches high. Assuming a three stitch border, as for my other patches, this means you’ll want a 33 x 17 block swatch plus any excess (if used unmodified).
