Space Mobile

Embark on an extraordinary journey through the galaxy with this enchanting Space Mobile, perfect for aspiring astronauts and little dreamers alike! Designed by the talented Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, this delightful mobile is crafted with soft, durable acrylic DK yarns and is knitted using single pointed needles (not in the round). The charming mobile showcases a vibrant array of celestial wonders, featuring the radiant sun, stunning planets, adventurous space rockets, whimsical UFOs, and adorable astronaut and alien figures. All of these elements are beautifully suspended from a wooden embroidery hoop that has been elegantly covered with yarn for a polished, professional look. This comprehensive knitting pattern not only offers a fun and engaging project but also incorporates a variety of knitting techniques to challenge intermediate knitters and above. You'll learn the art of intarsia colour-work to create the astronaut’s helmet, along with Swiss darning (also known as duplicate stitch) embroidery to meticulously bring the planet Earth to life, guided by the detailed chart provided in the pattern. Other essential techniques included in this mobile-making adventure consist of casting on and off, performing knits and purls, making increases and decreases, as well as finishing your work with seaming. Whether you’re an experienced knitter seeking a new and exciting project, or looking to create a stunning piece for a child's room, this Space Mobile will ensure that your creativity knows no bounds. Get ready to knit your way through the cosmos and make new knitting friends along the way!
