I decided to develop a feminist Star Wars hat shortly after the inauguration when I was thinking of what I could do to bring a little positivity and creativity to the world. Who says knitting can’t be a form of resistance?

This hat is made of three stripes of colorwork patterns, featuring the Rebel Alliance symbol and text, the Women Power symbol, four of the Star Wars ladies, and some spaceships. Some of the patterns I found via Pinterest and some I created myself. I have only used free patterns, and I give credit next to the patterns when they are used. While I think these patterns knit into a lovely hat, feel free to also take the colorwork and make scarves, pillows, mittens, etc. I might knit some of these into ornaments for next Christmas.

The hat should be worked flat with slightly-modified Intarsia/Fair Isle blend (method described in the pattern).
