My own project has been making a set of cloth napkins embellished with rainbow Star Wars symbols. This one is a clone trooper helmet!
In the three-way Venn diagram of crafty, geeky, and LGBTQIA+, there is a magical center point at the intersection of all three. Keeping these hat-trick folx in mind, what better way to celebrate Pride this month than to assemble a sampling of Pride crafts, preferably of the geeky variety?
I have organized my finds into a few different categories so you can find the crafting medium that suits your interests. This is by no means a complete list, and if you don’t find something to pique your interest here, don’t be afraid to shake the internet yourself to see what falls out!
Knitting and Crocheting Patterns

Gay Pride Pig Amigurumi
Amigurumi (3D yarn creatures) are always super cute, and this adorable rainbow pig pattern is no different. The maker also has a few other Pride flag variations available on their shop.

13th Doctor Scarf
While not specifically a Pride creation, the most recent incarnation of everyone’s favorite time-traveling doctor wears a rainbow-striped scarf that can certainly be claimed for the occasion! This pattern is specifically for crochet, but a knitting magazine in the UK has a free download for its own knitted version as well.
CadistCreations
Pride Flag Cthulhu Amigurumi
He’ll bring about the endtimes and devour your soul, but he sure will look cute while doing it. This crochet pattern comes with instructions for 16 different Pride cthulhus.

Cross-Stitch Patterns

Queer Science
This listing will net you multiple cross-stitch patterns, all with a scientific flair (such as the Queeriodic Table). The maker donates all proceeds from sales of these patterns to Queer Science, an organization geared toward making LGBTQIA+ youth feel more accepted in the STEM community. This organization is also local, housed at the University of Minnesota!

This pattern makes use of lightsabers’ different-colored blades to create the Pride flag (Philadelphia variant)! The maker also has patterns for other Pride flags available in their shop.

Roll for Initiative
Inclusivity is important when taking on dungeons and also dragons. This pattern features the popular “When someone attacks a party member . . .” slogan and a bunch of dice bearing various flag colors.

This pattern is an adorable unicorn in a tapestry style, all done in the colors of the trans flag. Until the end of June, the maker is donating half of the proceeds from sales of the pattern to a few trans advocacy and support groups, which are listed on the website linked.

Happy Pride!
