Crochet Patterns for Palestine Solidarity

We’ve put together a round up of free crochet patterns for Palestine solidarity. You can crochet these to take to your next protest march, as a fundraiser, or to use in everyday life to show solidarity with the people of Palestine.

It’s been nearly two years of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. As this horror unfolds and escalates, it’s been difficult to know how to function with everyday life, with a genocide being live-streamed yet ignored by those with power.

As a crocheter, I find a lot of solace in crochet. It helps me find grounding. It is also how I express myself. Plus, as the world ignores this genocide, it becomes increasingly important to visibly show your support and keep up the pressure – it’s the only way we can hope to see change.

While I was initially really disappointed in the crochet community and its silence during this genocide, I have been heartened to connect with some amazing crocheters who have also been using their craft to show their support.

In this round up, I introduce their patterns and links on where to find them. I hope you find these crochet patterns for Palestine solidarity beneficial. I will keep adding to this as I find more. If you have a pattern that you’ve designed that I can include, let us know and we will add it to this round up.

Craftivism for Palestine Ideas

Craftivism is a way of using craft for activism. Here are some ideas for craftivism for Palestine.

You can use these patterns to show your own solidarity with Palestine, by adding keychains to your bags.
Use them to fundraise for people in Palestine
The incredible Niamh used crochet to create a visual representation of the children killed by Israel in Gaza – something that is difficult to depict otherwise. She asked the crafting community in Ireland and beyond to send her 6×6 inch squares. They collected 2300 squares (and counting) – with each representing ten children killed in Gaza. The blanket is a very powerful depiction of the scale of the massacres (and these are just reported deaths!). You can see this incredible blanket on Al Jazeera.

Palestinian Crochet Flag

This Palestine crochet flag keychain on Instagram by Amena at The Cotton Doll would be great to attach to your bag. I also recommend checking out her Instagram page. She has used crochet in such a powerful way to highlight what is happening in Gaza.

Palestine Map Crochet Patter n

This map of Palestine by Mai and Haniya at Sisters Handmade on Instagram would make a wonderful keychain to show solidarity for Palestine. If you use the same yarn and crochet hook recommended in the pattern, it works up to be approximately 13 cm tall. The actual pattern is linked in their Instagram bio.

Palestine Flag Heart

Chai Coffee Crochet’s Palestine flag crochet heart is approximately 3 inches tall using DK yarn and a 2.75mm crochet hook. It would work well as a keychain or bag charm.

Crochet Palestine Flag Wrist Cuff

This crochet Palestine flag wrist cuff by Scarlet Stitch Studios would be great to wear at your next protest march – or just about town. It’s crocheted using cotton yarn and a 3.5mm crochet hook.

Watermelon Crochet Keychain

Here is another pattern by Amena at The Cotton Doll on Instagram. Watermelons have become a symbol for Palestine, as the colours of the fruit are the same as those of the Palestinian flag. This crochet watermelon keychain works up really fast and is quite easy to crochet.

Dua, the Watermelon Crochet Doll

Dua means prayer in Arabic and this doll was inspired by the children of Gaza. She is approximately 4.5 inches tall and is part of our Kozu Palm Pals mini crochet dolls series. She takes a couple of hours to crochet (depending on your speed).

Palestinian Flag Keychain

This Palestinian flag keychain by Wooly Smile is crocheted in an oval shape so that it’s two-sided. If you add a zip, it would make a really cute coin purse too!

Palestinian Flag Crochet Graph

If you enjoy crochet graphs, this crochet graph of the Palestinian flag by Al Banna Designs is a really versatile pattern, as it can be used for crochet, knitting, Tunisian crochet, cross stitching, plastic canvas, diamond painting – anything that can be done following a grid.
