This set, especially the hat, were inspired by the Eye of God Nebula. I saw that, and thought to myself how wonderful it would be represented in knitting.

This yarn came across my Instagram feed, and I realized it was a perfect colorway to fit the design idea. So, I set to work figuring out how to use short rows to shape the eye and make it work in a hat. The ribbing on the brim and cuffs reminded me of lightning bolts, which I thought was fun to use in a heavenly inspired pattern. The hat uses two different colorways, and the mittens use the colorway from the eye. Color choices are up to you, and there are so many different colorways you could pick. A solid or semi-solid on the brim and base of the hat, with a striping yarn or variegated yarn would be interesting and a great way to use a couple of those self-striping or hand painted skeins. This is a great design to have fun with color.
