Hi Lindsay, here are a few examples of South African flags made by forum members. Hope they help. Would love to see a photo( or the real thing :-) when you're done.
Hello Lindsay - I have never seen a pattern for the new SA flag. However, I will ask at my local wool and pattern shop next time I go there (soon). Alternatively, I could forward you the dimensions and you could devise a pattern from that. As a start I would suggest knitting it lengthways using the intarsia method where the colours change. Will be in touch, All the best, Gill. Please give my best regards to your friends from South Africa.
Hello Lindsay, I'm also from Sault Ste. Marie!, So glad you’ve joined us. We must get together for a chat.
i see you are looking for a South African flag pattern. We have a few on here so please check the photo section. I will also have a look .

Making the basic square is a wonderful way to relax and still help the children. Plain Jane squares, as they are affectionately called, are the backbone of KAS. Since it takes 35 squares to make one blanket, squares are needed all the time.
We would love to see photos of your work. Click on the photo option at the top of the page, click “Add” and follow the prompts.

hi Lindsay I will have a look on the internet for a pattern. I will let you know
Happy Birthday Lindsay....I hope you're having a great day.
Hi Lindsay, I will check if I can find anything for you. Have a wonderful day.
Hi Lindsay and early Happy Birthday wishes !!
I see you are in contact with Thandy. She has probably already told you that she has posted a photo of the flag.
Christine has commented on the photo, giving directions to the flag challenge as well as other info.
