The disturbed individuals from Unhinged Knitter (dot com! Ooh, look! A plug!) are delighted to bring you a mitten chart that blends the traditional Norwegian mitten with quirky patterning. The charts are designed for worsted weight yarn, making them perfect for last minute gifts with original style. This is an individual chart, but be sure to check out our bulk packages and receive funky charts, plus bonus surprises! Not to mention you’ll save money that way. Good stuff, right?

Anyhoo, this is the single pattern and chart for Pale Blue Dot, a gloriously geeky chart named after the image of the earth lost in sunlight, the size of a tiny blue speck. Carl Sagan inspires so much in me, and I wanted to make this mitten chart to keep all of us looking to the stars.

The Milky Way spirals out in your hands, split between two different palm charts. When you cup your hands together, you hold the entire galaxy in the palm of your hands.

Purchase this pattern using paypal for only 3 dollars (USD) and you’ll receive a pdf file in your email box within 24 hours.

Happy Knitting!

Tonks, The Unhinged Knitter
