The 17 Pride Flags included in the pattern are Rainbow, Progress or Inclusive, Straight Ally, Lesbian, Bear, Agender, Transgender, Genderfluid, Aromantic, Non Binary, Unlabelled, Asexual, Bisexual, Pansexual, Polysexual, Genderqueer & Twink.

This pattern is for simple 'Vanilla' style socks that includes 4 adult sizes (Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large) and 2 heel options (short row and afterthought heel) plus a table which tells you how many rounds of each colour to knit per size in order to make your chosen Pride Flag pattern. Knitted ‘top-down’, these socks are cast on at the cuff, then worked in the round to the heel. The heel is formed by short rows, with a stripy afterthought heel for the 'Inclusive' (image 2) or 'Straight Ally' socks (image 4).

Afterthought heel yarn packs are available and can be added to any sock (see images 8 + 10). You then continue to knit down to the toe before binding off.

Instructions and charts are given to embroider or 'Duplicate Stitch/Swiss Darn' several motifs including a Bear paw, 'Twink' motif or a Rainbow heart (see image 9).
