Pride Patch Patterns: July 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.

Acemid and Aromid Patch Patterns – Ten Block, Upper Case

The five-stripe “acemid” and “aromid” patterns fit a rectangle 48 stitches wide and 14 stitches high. Assuming a three stitch border, as for my other patches, this means you’ll want a 51 x 17 block swatch plus any excess (if used unmodified).

Amid Patch Pattern – Ten Block, Upper Case

The five-stripe “amid” 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).

Bellus Patch Pattern – Ten Block, Upper Case

The five-stripe “bellus” pattern fits a rectangle 50 stitches wide and 14 stitches high. Assuming a three stitch border, as for my other patches, this means you’ll want a 53 x 17 block swatch plus any excess (if used unmodified).

Heart Patch Pattern – Four and Eight Stripe

The sixteen-block heart patterns fit a rectangle 17 stitches wide and 16 stitches high. Assuming a three stitch border, as for my other patches, this means you’ll want an 20 x 19 block swatch plus any excess (if used unmodified).

Because these patches are more easily sewn upside down, the patterns are oriented to match.

Zigzag Flag Patch Pattern – Four Stripe

The four-stripe zigzag flag patterns fit a rectangle 25 stitches wide and 18 stitches high. Assuming a three stitch border, as for my other patches, this means you’ll want an 28 x 21 block swatch plus any excess (if used unmodified).

The “bellus” pattern can be merged with my five-stripe upper-case “aromantic” pattern to create “bellusromantic”.
