Rainbow Pride Scarf

Scarf made from soft acrylic yarn in the colors of the traditional gay pride flag. It is 6 in wide by 6 ft long. Hand-knit.

After losing its pink stripe in 1978, the turquoise stripe would meet the same fate in 1979. There are two possible explanations: that the turquoise material, like the hot pink, was difficult to get, or that people preferred a flag with an even number of stripes. Either way, the change left us with the six colored stripes that still adorn the flag today.

Each of the colors has a meaning:

Red: Life

Orange: Healing

Yellow: Sunlight

Green: Nature

Blue: Serenity

Violet: Spirit
