Ever wanted to hold the whole world in your hands? How about a whole solar system?

From Ganymede to Titan… a very woolly look at the our solar system. With all of the planets, and an (admittedly incomplete) supporting cast of planetary bodies, moons and asteroids (full diagram on page 3), these mittens are totally geeky and surprisingly educational!

200-350 yds / 180-320 m of fingering weight / 4 ply yarn in two shades. Sample shown uses Blacker Yarns Swan Over-Dyed Falklands Merino in Navy (MC) and Gorse (CC).
2.75mm / US 2 circular needles or DPNs.
Waste yarn
Stitchmarker
Tapestry needle

GAUGE
28 stitches / 32 rows over 4 “ / 10 cm in stocking stitch.

SIZE
Available in Small (Medium, Large).
Designed to fit a 7.5 (8.5, 9.5) “ / 19 (21, 23) cm wrist with 1 “ / 2.5cm positive ease, and is 8.5 “ / 21 cm long.
