Happy Pride Month! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ This year I'm celebrating by doing something I've wanted to do for a while - releasing a crochet pattern I've designed and written. You can find a link to both the free and paid versions in my bio!
If you've been following my photography account for a while, a post about crochet might feel a bit out of the blue! In case you didn't see my post last week, I'm changing the direction of my work a little bit. I'll definitely still be doing plenty of photography - I'm just adding knitting and crochet to the mix too! ๐
In any case, this pattern is for anyone who wants to support a small, q***r creator this pride month, rather than getting their pride merch from huge, pink-washing corporations.
It is very beginner friendly, and doesn't involve anything more frightening than chain stitches, single crochet stitches, double crochet stitches, slip stitches and a magic circle.
You can see the full pattern for free on my website, but please do consider buying the PDF if you can spare ยฃ3; it includes lots of photographs as well as the written instructions, and as a small business it really does help me out. You can find it in my Etsy shop, and hopefully I'll have Ravelry set up by tomorrow as well!
10% of each purchase will be donated to LGBTQ organisations. The two groups that I plan to support are: Dandelion DIY, a Bristol-based harm reduction group for trans+ people self-medicating with HRT, and African Rainbow Family, a grassroots charity that campaigns for racial justice and the human rights of LGBTIQ+ refugees and people seeking asylum.
Beyond that, crocheters lmk if you have any comments or feedback about the pattern! This is my first time doing this so concrit would be appreciated! โ๐ป๐งถ
