Bernie-Inspired Knit Mittens Pattern

If there's one thing that catches the eye of knitters everywhere, it's iconic knitwear in the wild. When Bernie Sanders took the world by storm by sporting a lovely pair of mittens put together from bits of old sweaters, many hoped to recreate them somehow. Designer Alyssa Coffey put together the Bernie-Inspired Knit Mittens Pattern, a simple pattern that only takes knowledge of knitting in the round on double-pointed needles and basic stranded knitting to complete. Keep the iconic colors in their original earthy tones for a vintage look, or put a twist on the mittens by knitting them in your own favorite colors!
