If you’re using all 8 colors, we’ll be switching every 8 rounds. If your goose is the Miles Kimball plastic variety, I’d recommend doing 4-6 rows of each color (28 - 36 rows), or, stick with 8 and have a dress!

Ok Let’s Get Started!

  1. Ch. 49, starting with the 2nd chain from your hook, SC in each chain across.Careful not to twist your row, SC in the first stitch from round 1 and continue to work in the round.
  2. SC in each stitch (48)
  3. (SC x 5, INC) x 8 (56)
  4. SC in each stitch (56)
  5. SC x 3, INC (SC x 6, INC) x 7, SC x 3 (64)
  6. SC in each stitch around (64)
  7. (SC x 7, INC) x 8 (72)
  8. SC in each stitch around (72) If you’re using all 8 colors, switch now.
  9. SC x 4, INC (SC x 8, INC) x 7, SC x 4 (80)
  10. SC in each stitch around (80)
  11. (SC x 9, INC) x 8 (88)
  12. SC x 5, INC (SC x 10, INC) x 7, SC x 5 (96)
  13. SC in each stitch around (96)
  14. (SC x 11, INC) x 8 (104)
  15. SC in each stitch around (104)
  16. - 56 . SC in each stitch around, remembering to switch colors every 8 rows for the original pride flag.

Switch to your ribbing color, SC in each stitch around. (104)

58. - 59. (FPHDC, BPHDC) repeated to the end. (104)

Finish Off

Reattach your ribbing color to your first row with a slip stitch and chain 1. SC in the first stitch and each around. (48) If you don’t end up with 48, that’s ok - the most important part here is that your stitches aren’t puckering and are an even number of repeats.2. - 3. (FPHDC, BPHDC) repeated to the end (48)
