A phoenix is a mythical immortal bird that’s cyclically born again. This phoenix crochet pattern combines one natural colour for the beak and legs with a gradient of four colours for the body and plumage. Although traditionally associated with flames and fire, the design works well when made down any of the colour spectrums from the blues to the greens, pinks, purples or oranges.
