Show your pride and your love for pickles with this crochet pickle pattern (finished project size is approximately 7” to 8” depending on your tension)- whether you love pickles, want to show your pride, or want a slightly larger than most “emotional support pickle” (you can create your own sign), then here’s the pattern for you.

The pattern is for the Pickle, and the crocheted flag (instructions will be given for 3, 4, 5 and 6 striped flags in your choice of colours)

Pattern includes photos for technique clarification, major steps, and assembly- this pattern does not contain photos for every repeating step.

Pattern is written in US terminology (with Canadian spelling)

Pattern details are as follows:

Finished size:
Length- approx. 7” to 8” tall (depending on personal tension)
Width- approx. 4” (at widest part with arms. 3” approx. without)
