From Pussy Hats to Evil Eye Gloves

Following the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., the March for Our Lives is being planned for Washington, D.C., on March 24.

The Women’s March in early 2017 was characterized by pink knit and crocheted hats, and the brainchild of that bit of fibery protest wants Congress and others to see all eyes on them at this upcoming march.

Krista Suh, who imagined what became the Pussyhat Project while driving in her car, notes on her website that even before that she had a dream of a peaceful protest where all the people had eyes on their upraised hands.

Once again Kat Coyle has come through with a pattern for what’s called the Evil Eye Gloves, fingerless mitts knit flat and with eyes embroidered on after the knitting is done.

You can grab the free pattern at Krista’s website, or check it out on Ravelry. Make them for yourself if you’re marching in D.C. or elsewhere, or make a bunch to mail to be distributed at the march.
