A nonbinary loving nonbinary flag!

Using the alchemical symbol for sulfur as a nonbinary symbol the way Mars and Venus represent male and female. (original post about that here)

[ID: Three versions of a pride flag that has four horizontal stripes of yellow, teal, red, and black. The first is just the stripes of the flag itself. The second version has two overlapping sulfur symbols, with an upward pointing triangle above a cross, with small diamonds at each horizontal arm of the cross. The last version has a single sulfur symbol with a heart inside. End ID.]

Recopying what I already wrote for the Internet Archive:

A flag for nonbinary people who are attracted to nonbinary people. This attraction does not need to be exclusive, it is meant to be inclusive, the way "men loving men" includes all men who love men, and "women loving women" includes all women who love women, even if they're also attracted to other genders.

These symbols can be adapted for a flag for nonbinary people who are exclusively attracted to nonbinary people if you would like!

This flag is called called "sulpherian", or "sulpheric" because I earlier decided to use the alchemical symbol for sulfur as a nonbinary symbol, and this flag's colors were chosen to match: Sulfur is yellow, burns blue, and melts into blood red. Sulfur in alchemy represents both fire, and the soul.

Many people shorten "nonbinary loving nonbinary" to "nln" or "xlx", and either of those can be used as well.

I wanted a nonbinary symbol that was not connected to the male or female symbols, but as something that can stand on its own, that is distinct and easy to remember and that most people should be able to draw so they can make their own art with it.

I've provided a blank version of the flag, along with versions with connected nonbinary symbols, and a single symbol with a heart on the inside, along with the files for those symbols, and icon sized versions for use online.

These flags, like all the flags I create, are Public Domain, so you can use them for literally anything you want, no credit or permission needed. The only thing I ask is that, when you share it online, please include an image description so that blind and other disabled people who need IDs can be included in your posts or art.

The HD versions of these flags and symbols can be downloaded from the internet archive here.

Included are versions with diamonds rather than triangles, because I was distracted when I started making these last night and for some reason didn't remember the sulfur symbol is a triangle instead of a diamond until literally 50 minutes ago when I was typing this post the first time lol. Either can be used :P

The web archive page includes some free icons you can use, and other stuff with this flag!

The more colors in the flag that are just different shades of the same color, the harder it is to recreate with yarn.

Rainbow cat hat.

Still drying from getting washed.

I use a 5.5mm hook and.... well I assume it is probably worsted weight yarn but I have no idea because most of these don't have labels. This purple hair is definitely a smaller size than the rest and the orange is larger but It doesn't really matter.

Chain however many is required to fit around your head, or the head of whoever you plan to make it for. If the person is not there to physically test it with, you can have them measure their head And then just chain however many long is required to fit that measurement.

Join this chain, and then just go all the way around with a double crochet in each stitch. Slip stitch to join, chain two to start the next row, and just keep going until you have as many rows as you want your hat to be tall.

Then fold it in half and a single crochet across the top two close it.

This has 12 rows, with each color getting two rows each.

....I probably could have measured the hat to tell you in centimeters and inches how tall it is but I didn't think of that until now so I'll do that tomorrow.

You could also just keep making it bigger to make a rectangular bag or something.

If you are unaware, this is called a cat ear hat, because when you put a rectangle on something round, it makes the corners stick up, so it looks like you have little cat ears.

[Image description start. A photo of a crochet rectangular hat in the colors of the rainbow being held up in front of a white wall. It is made in double crochet, in red, orange, yellow, green, dark blue, and purple, with each color having two rows. Image description end.]
