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 Aro-Ace Patch Pattern – Ten Block, Lower Case
The five-stripe demi “aroace” pattern fits 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).
Heart Patch Pattern – Arojump, Three and Five Stripe
The twenty-block arojump heart patterns fit a rectangle 21 stitches wide and 20 stitches high. Assuming a three stitch border, as for my other patches, this means you’ll want an 24 x 23 block swatch plus any excess (if used unmodified).
Because these patches are more easily sewn upside down, the patterns are oriented to match.
Non-SAM Aro Patch Pattern – Fourteen Block, Upper Case
The seven-stripe “non sam aro” pattern fits a rectangle 110 stitches wide and 18 stitches high. Assuming a three stitch border, as for my other patches, this means you’ll want a 113 x 21 block swatch plus any excess (if used unmodified).
This pattern is best stitched on 18-count aida. For more tips on stitching longer-word patches, please see my Pride Month Patch Pattern post.
Square Flag Patch Patterns – Three Stripe, Romo, Aroflex
The 15 x 15 three-stripe, romo aro and aroflex square flag patterns fit a square 15 stitches wide and 15 stitches high. Assuming a three stitch border, as for my other patches, this means you’ll want an 18 x 18 block swatch plus any excess (if used unmodified).
The combined demi “aroace” pattern is based on this image series which can be recreated with many five-stripe a-spectrum flags (a la flux, lith, grey, recip or abro) using my ten block pixel “aroace” pattern.
