Rebel Alliance Hat
“We need a flag to rally behind. A symbol. A symbol of hope.” - Leia Organa
Embrace a powerful symbol of hope with our beautifully designed hat pattern featuring the Alliance Starbird, also known as the Phoenix. This iconic insignia, representing the Alliance to Restore the Republic, was prominently displayed on the flight helmets of brave Rebel pilots throughout the Galactic Civil War. Its origins trace back to the Marek family crest, making it a meaningful addition to any Star Wars enthusiast's collection.
Our warm and cozy hat pattern includes a long double hem, perfect for extra warmth against chilly winds. The hat is available in three different sizes, ensuring a comfortable fit for nearly everyone, whether you're gifting it to a friend or knitting it for yourself.
Yarn Details: For this project, you will need Vintage® DK by Berroco, a premium yarn blend that consists of 52% Acrylic, 40% Wool, and 8% Nylon, with an impressive yardage of 290 yards per 100 grams.
