Pastel Gay Pride Flag in Spikes and Diamonds pattern 48" Parasol

This 30" parasol is a new pattern for me in 2025 that I'm calling Spikes and Diamonds. If you're a fan of crochet doily parasols, you may have seen this pattern before because it's charted, free, and widely available. 

This parasol features the Gay Pride flag as a gradient pastel with purple at the center followed by blue, green, yellow, orange, and finally red at the edge. This yarn is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. This certification means the yarn has been tested for harmful substances that may occur in harvesting, processing, or dyeing the yarn. Cotton is a remarkably dirty crop to work with and while OEKO-TEX isn't perfect, it is better. 

This 48" parasol has a wooden main shaft with a crooked handle and brass fittings for the top, handle, and arm tips. The opener is automatic and care should be exercised to ensure the arm tips aren't caught in the crochet mandala before opening.

It's not an umbrella so it won't keep the rain off your head, but this parasol will diminish the sun's rays and help you look queerly whimsical.
