The Space Collection

I am over the moon (pun utterly intended) to present to you my very first collection.

This collection is part of the Malabrigo Freelance Pattern Project and I was asked to come up with a small collection of designs with the theme "Space" I really enjoyed working to a theme and choosing designs that were very different yet had common elements and a colour palette that runs through all of them.

Taking planets, stars and nebulae as inspiration with a colour palette of black, grey, turquoise and purple.

The collection includes four designs:

Oberon 

A fitted, long-line chunky weight cardigan with a raglan sleeve. The body grows so quickly in Malabrigo Chunky. Moon craters inspired the unusual edging worked in Malabrigo Worsted.

Nebulous

A scoop necked top with set in sleeves and a pretty ripple pattern inspired by nebulae worked in the luxurious Malabrigo Silky Merino. Gentle waist shaping gives a very feminine top.

Galactica 

A slim triangular scarf inspired by the milky way made in alternating color rows of a starburst stitch pattern in Malabrigo Lace. This yarn is so soft and light against your neck.

Neptune 

A warm and cosy shawl fronted cardigan with gently sloped shoulders made in Malabrigo Twist. The bright random striping is inspired by the planet it is named for. There are just so many great ways to wear this cardigan.

(although I won't be wearing it at all. :-( My photographer fell in love with this sample and it is going to a loving new home as part payment!)

All the designs are top-down and seamless. Each of the cardigans has a different top down construction method - its almost a primer in seamless crochet!

Each of the cardigans are available in a wide range of sizes from XS to 3X (chest sizes: 71-137cm/ 28"-54")

I loved working with the Malabrigo yarns, the colours are so beautiful and all the yarns were an absolute joy to crochet with. If I had to pick one favourite favourite it would probably be the worsted I used to edge Oberon - it is so soft and plump."
