Nebula’s are a cloud of gas and dust in outer space visible in the night sky often as patches of luminous colour. The Malabrigo Rios yarn has been dyed in a stunning variety of colours that reflect the purple colour nebula, purple with tones of green, red, pink and blue.

This hat pattern is easy enough for a beginner with some challenges through the icord cast on. It uses only one skein of worsted weight yarn so the perfect stashdown project too! Nebula knits up relatively fast so you could have a new warm hat in a couple of evenings, maybe even a new hat in time for the cold New Years Eve festivities!
