How to make Ryan Gosling's sweater from 'Project Hail Mary'
We found a crochet kit available online so you can get a one-of-a-kind version of Gosling's viral fox sweater.
Kyley Warren- A knit cardigan worn by Ryan Gosling in "Project Hail Mary" is gaining viral attention.
- The sweater's pattern comes from a Michigan-based craft company called Mary Maxim.
- Fans can purchase the pattern and yarn as a do-it-yourself kit to knit the sweater themselves.
"Project Hail Mary" has all the makings of a beloved sci-fi blockbuster, with its stellar, Ryan Gosling-led cast and otherworldly cinematography; but the real (unexpected) star of the film might just be Gosling's rugged, knit-heavy wardrobe, which includes a foxy zippered cardigan that feels straight out of the 1950's (and is already selling out fast online).
Mary Maxim, a Port Huron-based yarn and crafts company, is the label behind Gosling's now-viral knit (or rather, its knit pattern) which his character, Dr. Ryland Grace, famously wears throughout the film. The cream-colored zip cardigan features a striking fox embroidery across the front, which was amended from a prior wolf design after the film's creators determined it would better suit the science-teacher-turned-astronaut.
For fans of the space flick looking to replicate his woodsy apparel, the trending sweater is shoppable online, though there's one caveat: it's available for purchase as a Mary Maxim crochet kit, rather than an assembled sweater, meaning buyers will get to knit it themselves to create a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
Ahead, take a style cue from Ryan Gosling and shop the trending "Project Hail Mary" sweater kit before it sells out (again):

What makes Ryan Gosling's sweater in 'Project Hail Mary' special?
The knit pattern comes from Mary Maxim, which is a heritage craft and needlework company founded out of Canada that's developed something of a cult fan base—thanks to its signature colorwork and embroidered designs, dating back to the 1930s.
The original curling pattern on Gosling's sweater was patented in 1959, and the knit is designed to help develop his character's signature energy within the "Project Hail Mary" film.
