Pride & Progress Cowl (knit)

The **Pride & Progress Cowl** is a vibrant and meaningful knitting pattern inspired by the **Progress Pride Flag**, created by Daniel Quasar. Mirroring the flag’s rich symbolism, this cowl integrates traditional rainbow colors with unique mitered stripes that honor **transgender individuals**, **people of color**, and those impacted by **HIV/AIDS**. This beautiful accessory serves not just as a fashionable piece but also as a representation of unity and inclusion.

By purchasing this pattern, you’re participating in a greater cause! We proudly donate 20% of the proceeds from pattern sales to **The Trevor Project**, an organization dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ youth. In the future, these donations may also support other crucial organizations that advocate for queer communities in need.

Crafted as an **infinity tube**, often referred to as a doughnut or torus, this cowl is formed by skillfully joining together four knitted squares. The first two squares are created separately, featuring eye-catching rainbow stripes knitted on the bias from one corner to the opposite. The remaining two squares are constructed using a modular technique, where stitches are picked up from the rainbow squares, leading to the creation of beautiful mitered squares that work inward.

This knitting pattern is perfect for knitters of various skill levels looking to create a stunning, cozy piece that not only showcases their craft but also promotes inclusivity. Join the movement for acceptance and support by creating your own **Pride & Progress Cowl** today!

Whether you’re knitting for yourself or as a special gift, this cowl will not only keep you warm but also inspire conversations about love, diversity, and acceptance in our communities. Start your knitting journey with the **Pride & Progress Cowl** and take a stand for a cause that matters.
