Knit Bernie’s Mittens from the Inauguration

January 21, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

If you watched the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (or have been on the Internet any time since) you’ve seen, and maybe fallen in love with, the mittens worn by Bernie Sanders at the event.

His brown Fair Isle mitts were made by Jenn Ellis, a Vermont schoolteacher, who made them out of upcycled sweaters (the backs are blue, and the back of the thumb looks like another piece of Fair Isle knitting in green and white).

Alyssa Coffey released a chart for the backs of Bernie’s mittens, which fits into her plain mitten pattern, and could be adjusted somewhat to different sizes or gauges. (Though changing needle size is probably the best option since the design is nicely centered as it is.)

I love the idea of stitching these up for a Progressive friend, or maybe getting a jump on your Halloween costume?

You can grab the free chart on Ravelry.

Looking for more items featuring these now famous, Bernies Mitts – Check these fun Bernie items out on Etsy.

Need a Bernie beanie to go with those mittens? Check out this matching mitten pattern.
