Interstellar

The inspiration for this design comes from one of my favourite films – Interstellar. If you’ve seen it, you may see how my pattern relates to the film – the stars in the background (since they travel through the universe to different worlds) with vertical lines (representing the lines of gravity).

​

Ok, so it’s completely geeky, but it makes a cool pattern 😊

 

My friend said to me she thought it looked like tweed too – which wasn’t the plan, but I see it now, and would look really good in soft tweedy colours, browns, creams and greens.

​

Interstellar is created using the overlay mosaic technique.

​

The PDF has 3 easy to read charts (with Xs for DCs) for each pattern included, and corresponding written instructions.

​

Two PDFs are available, one using US terms and one using UK erms.

​

The main verticals in colour B on the pattern are worked as FPDCs (Front post double crochet).

​

This gives the pattern a more 3D and textured effect, with the main star pattern peeking through the verticals.

​

You can of course swap out all the FPDCs for just normal DCs if you prefer. The choice is yours. However, the pattern charts and written instructions detail FPDCs throughout.

​

You can use any yarn and corresponding hook you like for this pattern, just remember a tighter tension is better for mosaic crochet.
