A nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust. The mohair in this sweater made me think of clouds and the pictures of nebulas are such beautiful colours you could make yours any colour that makes your heart happy.
This is a top-down yoke sweater, with many options to customise it to suit your needs. You can make it from lace weight yarn held double with mohair, or you can make it in fingering weight without the mohair. Adjust the length of the body and sleeves to suit you. You can also choose whether to add the pattern on the body and sleeves or just on the yoke. The pattern includes sizes 30 – 62” (S – 5XL)
Picking a size: When choosing a size decide firstly how fitted you would like your final sweater to be. If you like a tighter fitting finished garment, pick a size the same or up to 2”/5cm smaller than your actual bust measurement. This is called negative ease.
However, if you prefer your sweater to be a bit looser then pick a finished size up to 2”/5cm bigger than your actual measurement. This is called positive ease. The size shown in the pictures is the 38” and I am a 36” bust measurement.
The length of the sweater and the sleeve length is totally customisable. Make something that you are going to love wearing.
