This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download

As of May 31, 2020, this pattern is free. Under current circumstances, I’ve decided to no longer charge for any of the Activist Afghan patterns.

ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF THIS PATTERN WILL BE DONATED TO THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER. - Please note: I was going to donate to a different charity (as stated on the pattern), but due to the lack of sales on the panels, I have decided it would be better to combine all the proceeds and donate to a singular organization that fights for all these issues. <3

This pattern contains both written instructions, as well as a graph. Be sure to have bobbins on hand! My sample in the picture contains some mistakes- I’m not a pro at knitting. But that just means that if I can do it, so can you!

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get measurements of how much yardage was used, but it’s not a lot.

The pattern makes a simple panel. The only stitches used are knit and purl. You can turn the panel into a pillow, a bag (I recommend lining it as the strands are likely to snag), or an afghan block.

I plan on designing more panels that will support other organizations as well, so be sure to favorite my Ravelry store to keep up with new patterns!
