Product Description
100% of the proceeds from this pattern go to supporting the Red Cross Children’s Hospital Burns Unit.
Money Raised to date: March 2016 - $900 August 2020 - $1 220
Update 2020 - we don’t live in South Africa any more but all money raised from this hat still goes to the Red Cross Children’s Hospital.
The StoryPhoenix hat came about after my daughter Rachel did a charity collection for the Red Cross Children’s Hospital Burns unit.
The name phoenix was chosen as this is the name the Doctor of the unit uses for her education charity for the kids. In mythology the phoenix is reborn from the ashes. We hope to support these children and families in a small way so that they too can emerge on the other side and survive. We hope that you will enjoy the hat and share the pattern with others. There is a size for the whole family.
Phoenix Hat by Sally-Jane Cameron
What Is Being Made
The Phoenix Hat is a knitted hat design created by independent designer Sally-Jane Cameron. This beginner-friendly project produces a finished hat suitable for various head sizes, making it an accessible introduction to hat knitting for crafters new to the technique.
Craft and Primary Technique
This project uses knitting as its primary construction method. Knitting is a fundamental textile craft that creates fabric by interlocking loops of yarn using two needles. The Phoenix Hat demonstrates core knitting principles through its structured approach, making it an ideal pattern for beginners looking to develop essential skills in a practical, wearable project.
Stitches and Construction Methods
The Phoenix Hat pattern incorporates several key sections that build the completed garment:
- Yarn Body: The main section of the hat, worked in the round to create the cylindrical crown
- Top Section: The upper portion of the hat that shapes the crown
- Star Decrease Section: A specialized decreasing technique used to close the top of the hat, creating a structured crown finish
These sections work together to create a well-proportioned hat with a distinctive crown shaping.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
The Phoenix Hat is designed to be worked with 4-ply yarn, a lightweight yarn weight that produces a refined fabric with good stitch definition. The pattern includes a specified gauge measurement to ensure proper sizing and fit. Knitters will need appropriate needles sized to match the yarn weight and achieve the required gauge, along with standard knitting notions for completing the project.
