The symbol of the Rebel Alliance brings hope to many suffering under the oppression of the evil Empire and, later, under the First Order. The Rebel Alliance crest is reminiscent of a phoenix: a three-pronged arm extending off an arch. Called a starbird, it is often seen on Rebel pilot helmets and on a ring worn by mechanic Rose Tico in The Last Jedi.

This exquisite lace shawl is worked flat from the top down in one piece. Wrap and turn short-row shaping is worked on a stockinette background at the same time as the beaded Alliance crest, then the pattern gently flows into the delicate beaded lace section. Beading as you go with a small crochet hook means you can add as many or as few beads as you desire.
