Moondust Hat

With everything we do, we leave traces on this planet, and our impact extends even beyond Earth—straight to the Moon! Did you know that the tracks left by the Apollo 14 crew on the lunar surface are still remarkably visible today? The impressions made by their Modularized Equipment Transporter (MET), affectionately known as the “rickshaw,” continue to be a poignant reminder of our human exploration. These enduring traces meander across the barren lunar plains, standing as a testament to the adventurous spirit of those who ventured into the unknown long ago.

The Moondust Hat (and its matching mitts) is inspired by these fascinating lunar traces, embodying the essence of those historic journeys. Each stitch captures the spirit of exploration and pays homage to the Apollo crew and all those who have dared to step into uncharted territories. This beautiful set not only keeps you warm but also serves as a conversation starter, connecting you to the daring legacy of scientific discovery.

Gauge: 27 stitches & 40 rows = 10 cm / 4” in reverse stocking stitch using 3.5 mm needles after blocking. Make sure to check your gauge to ensure the perfect fit for your Moondust Hat and matching mitts.
