The rainbow flag has been a symbol of LGBTQ community,
especially lesbians and gays. The colors of all spectrums
symbolize the LGBTQ identity and solidarity.

Previously I released a head/neckwear pattern for gender diversity, using color schemes for Transgender, Genderfluid and Nonbinary communities.

In this LGB Cowl series, I am celebrating the diverse communities of L (Lesbians), G (Gays), and B (Bisexuals).

The double-knit pattern will produce a reversible knitted cowl with mirrored images on both sides.

I will be donating 80% of sales from this pattern to “Metamorphosis Project” in Memphis, Tennessee (20% will be used to cover the fees to Ravelry, PayPal, Tech Edit, and Adobe Creative Cloud). The Metamorphosis Project is organized by OUTMemphis to combat LGBTQ youth homelessness in Memphis.
