Born This Way Bandana (crochet)

DIGITAL CROCHET PATTERN

Bandana, kerchief, headscarf - however you style it, wear it with Pride!

The Born This Way Bandana takes inspiration from the Progress Pride Flag created by Daniel Quasar.

20% of the proceeds from pattern sales will be donated to The Trevor Project initially. In the future, these funds may be directed to other organizations that support the queer community, wherever the need seems greatest at that time.
