A pair of mittens inspired by the total solar eclipse crossing Iceland on August 12, 2026. The Sólmyrkvi design captures the moment the sun disappears behind the moon — worked in stranded colorwork to bring the eclipse to life, stitch by stitch.
Available now in presale, with delivery July 20–25 — plenty of time to finish knitting before the big day!
Pattern includes instructions in both Icelandic and English.
