Anzula Cloud and Anzula Nebula are two of the most luxurious yarns we carry. Anzula Cloud lives up to its name; it is indescribably soft, ever so touchable and an absolute pleasure to work with. Anzula Nebula is its nightclub sibling, still super soft but spun with Sparkling Stellina to give it that little bit of disco glam. If you’ve thought about these yarns but never had quite the right project, here are 15 patterns that may push you over the edge!

Free Knitting Pattern for Anzula Cloud

Demalangeni Shawl, a dense lace-edged shawl in pink

Demalangeni Shawl

If you’ve seen us at a market, then you’ve seen Wendy Neal’s gorgeous Demalangeni Shawl knitted in Anzula Cloud. It combines a lace border and a simple texture stitch, which allows you to combine challenging bits with relaxing sections. And even though Cloud is touchably soft, it still has enough stitch definition to show that lacework off! 


Paid Knitting Patterns for Anzula Cloud

Itineris Shawl: a person wearing a bold red and blue striped shawl

Itineris Shawl

The Itineris shawl by Hilary Smith Callis is bold, geometric and striped. If you like clothes with an architectural bent, this shawl will set it off perfectly. It’s knit in garter stitch in three separate sections. If you are new to stripes, this is a perfect pattern to practice with!


Cloud Street Shawl. A woman with aqua hair wears a green lacy shawl

Cloud Street Stole

What could be more appropriate to make with Cloud than the Cloud Street Stole by Barbara Benson? Benson has made a pattern that is easy to enlarge or reduce.Two cloud formations inspired her: a cloud street and a von Korman vortex. Benson recommends this for intermediate knitters, and uses more challenging techniques such as bias shaping. The open lace pattern is a great opportunity to show your mastery!


The Elan Hat and Elan Mitts, matching knitting patterns with a cable pattern

Elan Hat and Mitts

Triona Murphy has designed two great matching patterns, the Elan Hat and Elan Mitts. They are intermediate level patterns that use cable and lace bands to elevate the design. These are the kind of items that will make you feel dressed up even if you pair them with your bunny slippers and bathrobe!


Sand Ripples Shawl, a blue shawl with a white lacy edge

Sand Ripples Shawl

The Sand Ripples Shawl by Stephannie Tallent has a little bit of everything: cables, stranding, lace, intarsia — if you are looking to mix it up with your next project, this might be the one! And the results are elegant and breathtaking; in some ways it’s so unusual that it may not even look like a knit shawl at first glance.


The Gurum Sock: a purple sock with lacework in front of a mirror to show off both sides

Gurum Socks

Keep your feet elegantly warm with the Gurum Socks pattern by Jean Chung. The pattern name, which means “Clouds” in Korean, a nod to the yarn it was designed for. This uses cables and lace for an ultra-feminine look that pairs well with dresses and skirts and will keep your feet warm in cold winter months.

Candeo Shawl: a gren shawl with a gridded openwork edge is on a dummy

Candeo Shawl

Candeo is the Latin word for sparkle, so the Candeo Shawl is a fitting name for a shawl made from sparkly Nebula! This is a single-skein shawl with lace edging and Tian Connaughton designed it in boomerang style. It’s a gorgeous accessory, and the lace work at the edge lets whatever else you’re wearing show through.


Hawaiian Lace Shawl is a very large pink lace shawl with scalloped edges on a dummy in a tropical environment

Hawaiian Lace

Hawaiian Lace is a very romantic design by Ambur Hsiao. This is a large shawl that you can truly wrap yourself up in, but it’s also open and airy with a lot of lace, adding to the romantic element. It’s almost 230cm wide at its widest point, big enough to work as a beach coverup as well as a shawl!


Anzula Nebula Knitting Patterns

Genova Sweater

Anzula Nebula is soft enough for a baby, and Taiga Hillard proves it with her Genova pullover sweater. This circular-yoke sweater has a raglan sleeve, lace and eyelets for the sweetest look, and three buttons from the neck to the chest in order to make it easier to put on. It is knit top-down, and you can make it with ¾ length sleeves or long sleeves. And if this isn’t the one for you, Taiga has dozens of other sweet baby garments all designed for this yarn so your bub can sparkle.

Achird Socks

How better to show off the sparkly nature of Anzula Nebula than with a starry sock? The Achird sock knitting pattern by Christine Guest features a series of twist stitch stars down the foot, each one encircled with a hexagon. Guest wrote this to be knitted with magic loop and designed it to be seamlessly knit in one piece. It also has extensive sizing. So if you want to make matching socks for everyone in your family, this pattern would work!


Aurelia Cowl - a yellow lacy cowl pools on the shoulders of the model

Aurelia Cowl

The Aurelia Cowl knitting pattern by Hilary Smith Callis is a large cowl that covers the shoulders like a shawl. It couldn’t be more different than her Itineris shawl that we featured up above! This pattern uses eyelets and lace to make something that is delicate, yet robust. It is worked mostly in the round, and it highlights Anzula Nebula’s sparkles perfectly.


The Other Raglan sweater. Model is outdoors on a dirt footpath, wearing a sparkly blue raglan mock turtleneck

The Other Raglan

If you’ve never knitted a sweater before — or you have knitted a sweater, but never a raglan — The Other Raglan by Courtney Little is a perfect way to start. While this is an intermediate-level knit, Little has broken down the instructions for each step so even a beginner with a project or two under their belt can follow along. And even if you’re an experienced knitter, Little has a couple of new skills for you! You’ll use skills like knit, purl, increase, decrease, work both flat and in the round, backwards loop cast on, pick up and knit stitches, tubular/sewn bind off, and how to seam when you make this sweater.


Fledgeling Shawl - a woman wears a shawl with multiple shades of blue stripes as well as white eyelet work

Fledgling Shawl

New Zealand’s own Brenda Green’s Fledgling Shawl is another great choice for a beginner, or for someone looking for a relaxing, quick knit. It has a 200cm wingspan! It features wide stripes, narrow stripes and a section of eyelets for great visual interest and color. The eyelets also show off Nebula’s sparkles. Its variegated nature means it would pair well with everything from casual to dressy outfits. We were honoured to collaborate with Brenda to bring this design to life. 


Wish I Might Shawl - a woman standing in the forest wears a curved shawl in various shades of blue and green

Wish I Might Shawl

The Wish I Might shawl from Irish Girlie Knits Designs comes in two sizes. She created it to highlight Nebula’s glittery nature. It features lace and stripes, and has both charted and written instructions for the lace edging. As opposed to a sharp triangle, this pattern has a gentle curve at the apex. While this pattern is moderately difficult, raters give it top marks for clarity.
